Prints bit-image graphics at 60 dots per inch if no = 0 or 120 dots per

 

 

inch if no = 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, m.?, ... 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.

later use. DIP switch 2-l must be OFF; otherwise RAM is used as an

 

 

input buffer, not for downloading characters, and this command is ig-

 

 

nored. Draft mode must be selected before this command is executed.

 

 

nl is the character code of the first character defined and n2 is the character

 

 

code of the last character defined. nl and n2 must both be between 32

 

 

and 127 or both be between 160 and 255. nl must be equal to or less than

 

 

n2. Use

of character

codes 32

127 (delete

avoided

if possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each character is defined by an attribute byte (mo) and 11 data bytes
