Selects one of eight graphics modes depending on the value of n0 and prints g-pin bit-image graphics in this mode. 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 ignores. 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 automati- cally to character mode.
