Appendix B IBM ProPrinter X24 and IBM ProPrinter II Commands
ESC Y n1 n2 ...
Double Resolution BIM | Hexadecimal code: 1B 59 n1 n2 .. |
Sets double resolution graphics (120 dots per inch), at normal speed, for a data string the length of which is defined by parameters n1 and n2.
The capacity of the line is 960 (1632) data items, but the adjacent horizontal dots cannot be printed.
ESC Z n1 n2
Quadruple Resolution BIM | Hexadecimal code: 1B 5A n1 n2.. |
Sets quadruple resolution graphics (240 dots per inch), at half speed with respect to ESC K n1 n2, for a data string the length of which is defined by parameters n1 and n2.
The capacity of the line is 1920 (3264) data items, but the horizontal adjacent dots cannot be printed.
ESC [ g n1 n2 m ...
High Resolution Graphics | Hexadecimal code: 1B 5B 67 n1 n2 m .. |
Selects the graphic printing resolution (BIM with 8 or 24 needles).
Parameters n1 and n2 give the amount of graphic data plus 1 (calculation as for other BIM commands).
Parameter m defines the type of graphic print resolution according to the following table:
m | Horizontal Resolution | Needles used | Notes |
0 | 60 | 8 | same as ESC K |
1 | 120 | 8 | same as ESC L |
2 | 120 | 8 | same as ESC Y |
3 | 240 | 8 | same as ESC Z |
8 | 60 | 24 | ESC K, high resolution |
9 | 120 | 24 | ESC L, high resolution |
11 | 180 | 24 | Triple density high resolution |
12 | 360 | 24 | Sextuple density high resolution |
In high resolution graphics mode
Note: If parameter m has the value 2, 3 or 12, the second of horizontal adjacent dots will not be printed.
