I am trying to send two print jobs to the printer . I am trying to print the a label in the correct orientation then using ^POI to print it a second time inverted. This works when the printer has first been turned on but then every print after the first it prints the 2 labels in the same orientation almost ignoring the ^POI.



My ZPL (zplData):



^XA
^LL600
^LS0
^BY2,2,59
^LH0,0
^FT100,400^BQN,2,10^FD##(attendee!.id)^FS
^A0N,50,50^FO350,240^FD(name)^FS
^A0N,40,40^FO350,290^FD(attendee!.company)^FS
^XZ


(zplDataFlip):



^XA
^POI
^LL600

^BY2,2,59
^LH0,0
^FT100,400^BQN,2,10^FD##(attendee!.id)^FS
^A0N,50,50^FO350,240^FD(name)^FS
^A0N,40,40^FO350,290^FD(attendee!.company)^FS
^XZ


Swift to send Job to printer:



if success! {

thePrinterConn?.write(zplData.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8), error: errorPtr)

thePrinterConn?.write(zplDataFlip.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8), error: errorPtr)

}

          Figured it out. The printer saves the orientation of the print after ^POa is used, so you have to define what orientation you want every time.
