Printing Graphics

The Epic 880TM Printer has bit-image graphic capability and a full PC-compatible character graphic set. The bit image format is similar to that used on other personal computer printers.

Character Graphics

Character graphics is the term for joining individual characters together to produce a mosaic of characters that form a graphic image. The simplest method uses an * (or any other character) to form an image. For example, TransAct®‘s printer brand of “Ithaca” might be formed as follows.

***	***	*	*		**		***		**
*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*
*	*	*****		****		*		****
*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*
***	*	*	*	*	*		***	*	*

The extended character set of the printer supports line graphic characters that can be combined to form windows and other shapes. For the shapes to join from line to line, the spacing must be set properly.
