Your printer has one command that allows you to use any of the 11 graphics options. The format of the command is: ESC * m nl n2 data In this command, m selects the graphics option and nl and n2 specify the number of columns to reserve for graphics. The available graphics options are listed below: Option Pins m Single-density Double-density High-speed double-density* Quadruple-density* CRT I CRT II Single-density Double-density CRT III Triple-density Hex-density* 8 0 8 1 8 2 8 3 8 4 8 6 24 32 24 33 24 38 24 39 24 40 * Adjacent dots cannot be printed in this mode. Horiz. density dots/in. 60 120 120 240 80 90 60 120 90 180 360 Column Reservation Numbers The graphics command requires more than one number to specify how many columns to reserve because one line can use thousands of columns, but the printer does not use numbers larger than 255 in decimal. Therefore the graphics mode command uses two numbers, nl and n2, for reserving columns. 4-12 Software and Graphics
