Using Traditional Kanji Formatting

Traditional kanji print presentation, called tate, is possible with your print server printers, using a combination of font rotation and logical page direction. A logical page in the DOWN direction and a 270° font rotation provide the right combination to present kanji in tate format on the printer.
