        Release Description:

        Changes since 1.21.2
        ====================

	1. Changed handling of SCS command STO (Set Text Orientation).
	   Setting the Text Orientation with SCS STO and direct to
	   the printer via ASCII Transparency in the same job could
	   in some cases result in wrong orientation of the printout.
	   This is now fixed.

	2. An emulator problem related to not sending the settings to
	   the printer often enough has been fixed.
