Prints 24-bit dot graphics at 360 dots per inch horizontally. The graphic image is 24 dots high and nl + n2 x 256 dots wide. Maximum width is 8 inches (2880 dots). In the data ml, m2, m3 .. . each three bytes represent 24 vertical dots. In the leftmost position, the most significant bit of ml is the top dot; the least significant bit of ml is the eighth dot from the top; the most significant bit of m2 is the ninth dot; the least significant bit of m2 is the sixteenth dot from the top; the most significant bit of

m3 is the seventeenth dot from the top; the least significant bit of m3 is the bottom dot. The rest of the data is similar. The number of data bytes must be 3 x (nl + n2 x 256). Dots beyond the right margin are ignored.

At the end of dot graphics printing the printer returns automatically to character mode.
