[Description] Selects a bit-image mode using m for the number of dots specified by nL and nH, as follows:

		Vertical Direction		Horizontal Direction (*1)
m	Mode	Number of	Dot	Dot	Number of Data
		Dots	Density	Density	(K)
0	8-dot single-density	8	60 DPI	90 DPI	nL + nH ✕ 256
1	8-dot double-density	8	60 DPI	180 DPI	nL + nH ✕ 256
32	24-dot single-density	24	180 DPI	90 DPI	(nL + nH ✕ 256
					)✕3
33	24-dot double-density	24	180 DPI	180 DPI	(nL + nH ✕ 256
					)✕3

•The nL and nH indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal direction. The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH ✕ 256.

•If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the excess data is ignored.

•d indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print

a dot or to 0 to not print a dot.

[Notes] • If the values of m is out of the specified range, nL and data following are processed as normal data.

•If the width of the printing area set by GS L and GS W less than the width required by the data sent with the ESC ✽ command, the following will be performed on the line in question (but the printing cannot exceed the maximum printable area):

➀The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate the amount of data.

➁If step ➀ does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin is reduced to accommodate the data.

For each bit of data in single-density mode, the printer prints two dots: for each bit of data in double-density mode, the printer prints one dot. This must be considered in calculating the amount of data that can be printed in one line.
