Solution

Changing the Printing Orientation

It is possible to print characters with their orientation changed as shown below. It is also possible to change the oriantation on a page basis or for all pages together after entering characters.

Horizontal / Horizontal

Vertical / Vertical

If entered characters are expected to be omitted from the page after the orientation is changed on a page basis, it is not possible to select such an orientation with the Page option. It is also not possible to change the orientation to Vertical / Horizontal Character after entering characters.

 Once character data has been entered, the Vertical / Horizontal Character selection can no longer be made. In this case, delete all character data, then make the Vertical / Horizontal Character selection and re-enter the character data.

 Printing might not be performed correctly in some orientations, depending on the settings for the media size and the character size.
