Graphics
The dot graphics mode allows your LQ to produce pictures, graphs, charts, or almost any other pictorial material you can devise.
Because many commercial software programs use graphics, you may be able to print pictures and graphs like the ones on this page and the next by simply giving your software a few instructions.
The quickest and easiest way to print graphics on your LQ is to use a commercial graphics program. With such programs you usually create an image on your monitor and then give a command to send the image to the printer.
If you use commercial software that produces graphics, all you need to know about dot graphics is how to use the software. If, on the other hand, you wish to do your own programming or merely wish to understand how the LQ prints graphics, read on.
