Prints 24-bit dot graphics at 360 dots per inch horizontally. The graphics image is 24 dots high and nZ + 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 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.
