Note:

The graphics data is organized by byte. For 8-wire modes, it is arranged and mapped to the wires identically to ESC K. For 24-wire modes, the data has three bytes per slice, with the most significant bit of he first byte mapping to the top wire and the least significant bit to of the third byte mapping to the bottom wire. The slices are in sequence from left to right.

Modes 2,3 and 12 use consecutive dot elimination. No two adjacent horizontal dots can be printed. The second is eliminated. For high resolution mode (8,9,11 and 12), the count should be: 1+(3 number of slices).

For 48-wire modes, the data has six bytes per slice.

However the 48-wire image is mapped to the 24-wire head by ORing bits 1 and 2 to wire 1, bit 3 and 4 to wire 2, and so on.

Set Graphics Line Spacing (n/216")

This command sets line spacing to n/216 inches. It does not cause the form to move. It changes the vertical distance moved when a line feed command is received.

258x, 259x specifications

The Lexmark 259x and 258x series of printers are robust solutions tailored for small to medium-sized businesses seeking high-quality printing coupled with efficiency and performance. These monochrome laser printers are engineered to meet the demands of busy work environments with a blend of advanced features and reliable technology.

One of the standout features of the Lexmark 259x and 258x series is their impressive print speed. The 259x can reach up to 45 pages per minute, while the 258x offers competitive speeds that ensure documents are produced rapidly, thus enhancing productivity. These devices are designed to handle high-volume printing tasks without compromising quality, providing sharp text and bold graphics with a print resolution that can reach up to 1200 x 1200 dpi.

Another key characteristic is the versatility in media handling. They support various paper sizes, from envelopes to legal-size sheets, accommodating diverse printing needs. The standard input capacity is robust, featuring a 250-sheet input tray, with optional additional trays available, allowing for increased paper handling capabilities suitable for larger print jobs.

In terms of connectivity, both models come equipped with USB and Ethernet interfaces for easy integration into existing networks. They also offer mobile printing options, aligning with contemporary work habits, allowing users to print directly from their smartphones or tablets through services like Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint. This flexibility is further enhanced with Lexmark’s innovative Mobile Print app, streamlining remote printing tasks.

Security is paramount in today’s digital landscape, and Lexmark addresses this concern with built-in security features. These include secure print, which requires a code to release jobs, and various encryption protocols to protect sensitive data during transmission. This focus on security not only safeguards information but also complies with industry standards for data protection.

The Lexmark 259x and 258x series utilizes trademarked technologies like Lexmark’s Unison toner, which optimizes quality and performance. This technology ensures consistent, high-quality print output while maximizing yield, leading to more cost-effective printing solutions.

In summary, the Lexmark 259x and 258x series stand out for their speed, quality, versatile media handling, robust connectivity, and strong security features. These printers are well-suited for organizations aiming to achieve efficiency in their printing processes while ensuring reliability and high performance. With their advanced capabilities, they represent an excellent investment for any business looking to enhance its productivity.
