Star Micronics XR-1500 double-density, Set &dot quadruple-density, cEsc, Redefine bit-image mode

Select 8-dot double-speed		double-density			Both
<EsC>	Y	Cd>	<do,	...	da>
1Bh	59h	-all>	<do>	...	cdn>
27	89	cd>	<do>	...	ain>

The command above selects 8-dot double-speed, double-density bit-image printing, where cnO, and cd > are binary values (low byte fmt) representing the number of data bytes following the command. The data bytes are represented by <do> . .. <dn>. This command has the same effect as <ESC> * 2.

Set &dot quadruple-density						Both	-

1Bh	5Ah	#o>	all>	cue	...	<dn>
27	90	cno>	cd>	<do>	...	cdn>

The command above selects 8-dot quadruple-density bit-image printing, where or& and cd> are binary values (low byte first) representing the number of data bytes following the command. The data bytes are represented by <do> . . . <dn>. This command has the same effect as cESC> * 3.

Redefine bit-image mode		Both
<Esc>	?	Cd>
1Bh	3Fh	al>
27	63	Cd>

The command above redefines a bit-image mode to another mode, where un& is the mode to be redefined. This may take the ASCII values “K”, “L”, “Y” or “Z”. on1> is a binary value representing the mode to which cmo> is redefined, being a value used after the cBSC> * command (0 through 7). If any of the modes represented by cm& are subsequently selected, bit-image printing will now take place in the mode as defmed by cm1>.

The command above selects the 9dot bit image mode, where cm> is a binary value representing the graphics mode (see table below), and cno> and cd> arebinary
