1Bh25h<n>

The command above selects either the standard or downloaded character set, where cn> is a binary value (OOhor Olh) or an ASCII value (“0” or “1”). If cn> equals OOh or “O”, the standard character set is selected. This is the default value at power-on. If Olh or “1” has been selected, then the downloaded character set is selected.

Graphics

The following commands relate to the graphical capabilities of the printer (bit image mode). All bit-image printing is carried out as raster graphics (ie data is accepted in blocks, and then printed as adjacent lines of graphics one dot wide).

The command above selects one of the graphic modes available on the printer and prints graphic data, where OIZ, is a binary value representing the graphics mode (see table below), and<& and al> are binary values (low byte first) giving the number of graphic data bytes following (as represented by <do> . . . cdn>). The actual number of data bytes varies according to the graphic mode chosen. In an 8-pin mode, the number of data bytes is equal to the number of graphic columns to be printed, but in a 24-pin mrxle, the number of data bytes is three times the number of graphic columns to be printed.
