4.2 Dual-density bit imagemode setting by ESC L + nl + nz

When the ESC (< 1 B> H) and L (< 4C > H) codes followed by data nc and n2 are input, the printer’s operation mode is converted from Text to Dual-density Bit Image.

The transfer sequence of bit image data is the same as with the ESC K (normal-density bit image printing), but bit image printing can be performed in twice the dot density in the horizontal direction as with the ESC K. In other words, bit image data can be printed in 1152 dot positions per line, thus permitting to produce denser graphic data.

NOTE: Mixing of normal-density bit image with dual-density bit image on a line is at your option, as well as mixing with normal size characters in the text mode.
