characters).
•It

is outside of the defined range, this command is ignored.
• In standard mode, the vertical derection is the paper feed
direction, and the horizontal derection is perpendicular to the
paper feed direction. However, when character orientation
changes in 90° clockwise-rotation mode, the relationship between
vertical and horizontal directions is reversed.
• In page mode, vertical and horizontal directions are based on the
character orientation.
• When characters are enlarged with different sizes on one line, all
the characters on the line are aligned at the baseline.
•The ESC ! command can also turn double-width and double-
height modes on or off. However, the setting of the last received
command is effective.
