___

Prints bit-image graphics at 60 dots per inch if n0 = 0 or 120 dots per

inch if n0 = 1. The graphics image is 9 dots high and nl + n2 x 256 dots

wide. Maximum width is 8 inches. Dots beyond the right margin are

ignored. ml,

m2,

... are

byte

pairs

representing

9 vertical

dots

each.

In

the leftmost position, the most significant bit of ml is the top dot; the least significant bit of ml is the second dot from the bottom; the most significant bit of m2 is the bottom dot; and the other bits of m2 are ignored.

Other byte pairs are similar. The number of data bytes must be 2 x (nl

+n2 x 256). At the end of bit-image printing the printer returns auto- matically to character mode.
