Plot Data Line Format
A plot data line may contain any number of plot data bytes up to 132 bytes (or 136 if Configuration Option 56.0 is set to 56.1; refer to page
NOTE:
Normal Density Plot
For normal density plot, the plot line format contains: the odd dot plot control code, plot data bytes, and a line terminator. The control sequence for sending the
1.Send the plot command code ENQ (05 hex).
2.Send the plot data bytes. (Refer to Table
3.Send a line terminator; Line Feed or Form Feed:
a.For a Line Feed use 0AH. A line feed plots the contents of the buffer and advances the paper a single dot row, based on the vertical density of the current mode. A Carriage Return (CR) may a be used instead of the LF code, provided the carriage return has been configured for carriage return = carriage return + line feed (CR = CR + LF).
b.For a Form Feed use FF, 0CH. A form feed (0C hex) plots the contents of the buffer and advances the paper to the top of the next form.
Regardless of which line terminator code is sent, the printer defaults to the previously selected print mode unless further plot control codes are provided with the data.
IMPORTANT
Failure to adhere to this format may cause unexpected results.
