MORE GRAPHICS PROGRAMMING TIPS

At the end of this chapter, we’ll discuss two modes that the printer offers to help you solve potential graphics problems. A redefining code allows you to change the density for graphics programs that use one of the four alternate codes. The 9-pin graphics mode allows you to use all nine pins on each line and thus speed up screen dumps.

Redefining alternate graphics codes

Your printer provides a command to redefine one of the alter- nate graphics modes — K, L, Y, or Z —so that it represents any other of the seven graphics modes. The command is (ESC) “?” nOnl, where nOis one of the four letters, “K”, “L”, “Y”, or “Z”, and nl is one of the numbers used with the (ESC) “*” com- mand, Oto 6. There are several instances in which you may use this sequence.
