Setting the Print Direction
Use this option to set the print direction for the printer. Messages can be printed
in either forward or reverse direction, enabling products moving in either direction
on conveyors (right to left (forward print) or left to right (reverse print)) with
respect to the print head. It also allows the product to be printed on both sides
(with more than one printer on the line). The system assumes a normal conveyor
movement from right to left.
Forward printing means that the first character of the message is printed first, just
like a typewriter. Reverse printing means that the last character is printed first.
