k = n1 + 256 n2 (m = 0, 1)

 

 

 

 

 

k = (n1 + 256 n2) 3 (m = 32, 33)

 

 

 

 

[Outline]

• According to the number of dots specified in “n1”, “n2”, specify the bit image of

 

 

 

mode “m”.

 

 

 

 

 

The number of dots printed is divided by 256, whose quotient is taken as n2 and

 

 

 

residual as “n1”. The total number of dots printed in the horizontal direction is

 

 

 

equal to n1 + (256 n2).

 

 

 

 

 

When bit image data have been input in excess of dot positions that can be printed

 

 

 

on one line, the excess data are discarded.

 

 

 

 

• ”d” is bit image data. Bits to be printed are specified as “1” and those not as “0”.

 

• The bit image modes specified by “m” are shown as follows:

[Caution]

• When the value of “m” is out of the above range, the data following after “n1” is

 

 

 

processed as normal printing data.

 

 

 

 

After completion of bit image printing, the printer returns to normal data processing mode.
