Input Data Format

(15)Specifying a bit image (ESC * m n1 n2 D1~Dn)

Code: [1B] h + [2A] h + m + n1 + n2 + Dn

*(m = Bit Image Mode (See the following table.)

(0 n1 FF)

(0 n2 03) Data are expressed in Hex code.

Data are printed in a bit image in accordance with the Bit Image mode specified by m.

The number of dots printed in the horizontal direction is divided by 256, with n2 being the product and n1 the remainder.

The total number of dots printed as the bit image is n1 + (256 x n2).

If bit image data which exceed the space of one line are input, the portion of data that runs over the end is dropped.

Bit image data (Dn) are specified by “1” in printed bits and by "0" in nonprinted bits.

The Bit Image mode is as shown in the following table.

If they deviate from the conditions of the values set in m (Bit Image mode), n1 and subsequent data are processed as ordinary character data.
