USAGE NOTES

This command allows selection of eight modes for both emulated 8-wire graphics and 24-wire graphics.

Count the total number of bytes of binary bit-image data PLUS ONE (A). The total number of bytes cannot exceed the number of dot columns that remain on the line. This value is represented by Ln and Hn.

– When a value is represented by two parameter bytes, value (A) = Ln + Hn

X 256. Calculate values of A less than 256.

Hn is 0.

Ln is the value.

To calculate values of A equal to or greater than 255.

• Divide the value A by 256.

• The result is Hn.
