5.2.6 Graphics commands
5.2.6.1.1 S TANDARD GRAPHICS
ASCII
ESC n d1 -> d24
Hexadecimal 1B n d1 -> d24
Comments: Standard 1000 Emulation
Graphics command to enter bit image printing. The number of graphic bytes sent will
depend on the column selection; example: 24 or 40. For each graphic byte sent, 6 bits out
of the 8 bits are used to build the graphics string (LSB as the right most dot) and 'n' is the
number of times the string will be repeated for a repetitive pattern. The value of 'n' is
limited to a maximum of 255 lines. The print buffer will be printed first if not empty.
Examples: To repeat a string of data bytes, d1....d24 over two rows for 24 column printing
send: 1BH, 02H, d1....d24.
For a non-repeated string send: 1BH, 01H, d1....d24.
High Resolution Graphics
To use this mode, there is an option in the set up for changing the default graphics: HI-
RES graphics.
This works in the same manner as the standard emulation but there are 48 characters
across the line, rather than 24 or 40.
1B n d1 -> d48
This provides full dot addressable graphics at 8 dots/mm and a true image of the data
received.
