Ref : 3103039-FDE Issue A
4.1.36. GS ∗∗
(Description) Define down-loaded bit image
(Format) <1Dh> <2Ah> <n1> <n2> [<d>] k
(Comments) The bit image is defined as an array whose width is 8 x n1 bytes and whose
height is n2 bytes.
As for the user-defined characters, the image data, [<d>], is defined with the
MSB at the top and with data sent to represent the image “scanned” from top
to bottom and then left to right. Therefore, there will need to be k bytes of
data sent to make up the entire image, where
k =(n1 + n2 x 8)
1 <= n1 <= 255
1 <= n2 <= 48
n1 x n2 <= 1311
Note that the maximum size image which may be printed is if n1 is 56,
however, for software compatibilty with older printers the maximum value
possible is 255. If the logical image is larger than may be physically printed
then only part of the image will be printed and the other data will be ignored.
The bit image will remain valid until ESC @ or ESC & or FS 2 is executed or
a new image is loaded.

(Description) Print down-loaded bit image
