Print 16-wire graphics The list in the sequence is a series of codes that define the

(continnued) columns to print. The first two codes define the first column, the

second two codes define the second column, and so on. Each bit

in a code controls a specific dot in the column. The most

significant bit controls the top dot, the next bit controls the second

dot, and so on. The most signi-ficant bit of the second code

controls the ninth dot from the top, the next bit controls the tenth

dot, and so on. If the bit is a "1", the dot prints; if the bit is a "0",

the dot does not print. For example, FF FF hex prints all 16 dots in

the column, 00 00 hex prints no dots, 00 FF hex prints the lower

eight dots, and FF 00 hex prints the upper eight dots.

Print 32-wire graphics This sequence prints 32-wire graphics, wherein normal

240V x 240H dpi.................. ESC @ o 1B 40 6F 27 64 111 character codes no longer print characters, but instead print

n1 n2 list n1 n2 list n1 n2 list 32-dot-high columns of dots on the current print line. This

sequence does not change the current line spacing.

Variables n1 and n2 define the number of columns to print.

This number is one-fourth the number of bytes in the list.

The printer interprets n1 and n2 as follows:

Number of columns = (128 x n2) + n1

For example, to print 360 columns of dots, n2 would be 2

and n1 would be 104 (360 = (128 x 2) + 104).

The list in the sequence is a series of codes that define the

columns to print. The first four codes define the first column,

the second four codes define the second column, and so on.

Each bit in a code controls a specific dot in the column. The

most significant bit of the first code controls the top dot, the next

bit controls the second dot, and so on. The most significant bit of

the second code controls the ninth dot from the top, the next bit

controls the tenth dot, and so on. If the bit is a "1", the dot prints;

if the bit is a "0", the dot does not print. For example, FF FF FF FF

hex prints all 32 dots in the column, 00 00 00 00 hex prints no

dots, 00 00 FF FF hex prints the lower 16 dots, and FF FF 00 00

hex prints the upper 16 dots.
