To print nine-pingraphics,send this commandbefore your graphicsdata:

<ESC>Ad d ti

The variabled is a numberindicatingdensity.If d is any even numberthe densitywill be 60 dots per inch,but if d is an odd numberthe densitywill be 120dotsper inch.

The n2 in this command,as with other graphics commands,means the numberof 256-columngroupsof data you are sending(betweenOand 4). And nl is the numberof leftovercolumns(Oto 255).

Why can n2 indicateup to 4 groups, when the limit is 3 with eight-dot graphics? Because you send twice as many data bytes with nine-dot graphics.
