ESC "*" m n1 n2 [d] n1 + 256 ´ n2[Function] Specifying the bit image mode
[Code] <1B>H <2A>H m n1 n2 [d] n1 + 256´2
[Range] m = 0, 1
0 £ n1 £ 255
0 £ n2 £ 3
0 £ d £ 255
[Outline] This command specifies the bit image for the mode m as to the number of dots
specified with n1 and n2. Divide the number of dots printed by 256 and assume
its quotient to be n2 and remainder to be n1. Therefore, the number of
horizontal dots will be n1 + 256 ´ n2.
If the bit image data is entered beyond the dot positions printable in one line, the
surplus data will be discarded. The following table shows the bit image modes
for m.

0 8 Single density Allowed 189
1 8 Double density Disallowed 378
[Caution] If the value of m is beyond the conditions, the data subsequent to n1 will be
processed as normal data. Normal data processing will be restored after
completing bit image print.
