・First, the dat
a is lined up in three rows as follows:
. One dot of the image dat
a is enlarged as follows according to the value of m.
・As a result, the image is sized depending on the value of m as follows:
m = 71 48 dots vertically x (n1 + n2 *256) * 2 dots horizontally
m = 72 48 dots vertically x (n1 + n2 *256) * 1 dots horizontally
m = 73 48 dots vertically x (n1 + n2 *256) * 1 dots horizontally
