# Syntax
set the printRotated to {true | false}
# Examples
set the printRotated to true
# Description
The printRotated property is deprecated as of version 2.9. Setting the printRotated to true is equivalent to setting the printPaperOrientation to "landscape". New applications should use printPaperOrientation in preference to printRotated.
The printRotated property was used to print wide pages.
If the printRotated property is set to false, printing is done in portrait--the short sides of the paper are the top and bottom of the printed page.
If the printRotated is true, the direction of the printed output is rotated 90 degrees, so the long sides of the paper are the top and bottom.
