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.
