Note:
The IBM AGM emulation combines the IBM Proprinter emulation with Epson LQ
graphics for special graphics applications.
This command is used to select the density, to designate the number of columns of data you'll
be sending, and to specify the data to be sent.
Parameter m
This parameter specifies which density to use when printing the graphic image. The table
below indicates the type of density for each value of m.

Parameters L
n
and H
n
These parameters tell the printer how many columns of data you'll be sending: 8-pin modes
have one byte of data per column, 24-pin modes have three bytes of data per column. These
parameters can be assigned any value from 0 to 255. To calculate the values, first determine
how many columns of dots there will be in your graphics image. Divide this number by 256
and assign the whole number to H
n
; assign the remainder to L
n
