Turns on nine-pin graphics mode. Where m defines density of print (0 for single and 1 for double) and d is the total number of dots required n1 and n2 are as below:

n1 = d MOD 256 and n12 = INT(d / 256)

and are followed by two times d data bytes. The printer expects two data items for each column of print.
