number of dots for higher print quality at a lower speed.

Now that you have set up and tested the LQ, you should make
sure that it works with the application programs you want to use.
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you
are using so that the program can take full advantage of the
printer’s features. Many of these programs provide an installation
or setup section that presents a list of printers from which to
choose.
Choosing from a menu
Because the family of Epson printers shares a great many
commands, you can
use
an application program even if it does not

‘Adjacent dots cannot be printed in this mode.
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 LQ does not use numbers larger than 255
(decimal). Therefore, the graphics mode command
uses two
numbers for reserving columns.
To figure
nl
and
n2,
divide the total
number of columns by 256.
The
result is
n2;
the remainder is
ni.
Since the
command is
set up
for two numbers, you must supply two even if you need only one.
When you need fewer than 256 columns, just make
nl
the number
of columns you are reserving and make
n2
a zero.
