ESC * m n1 n2 [ d ] k

[Function] Specifying the Bit Image Mode

[Code] <1B>H<2A>H<m><n1><n2> [ <d> ] k

[Range] {m= 0, 1, 32, 33 bit imagemode (See the table below.)}

{0 =< n1 =< FF(Hex)}

{0 =< n2 =< 03(Hex)}

{0 =< d =< FF(Hex)}

{k = n1 + FF(Hex) × n2 (m = 0, 1)

{k = (n1+ FF(Hex) × n2) × 3} (m = 32, 33)

[Outline] According to the number of dots specified in n1, n2, specify the bit image of mode n.

• The No. of dots printed is divided by 256, whose quotient is taken as n2 and residual as n1.

• The total no. of dots printed in the bit image is equal to n1 + (256 x n2).

• When bit image data have been input in excess of dot position of one line (448 d ots) ,

the excess data are discarded.

• d is bit image data, the bits subject to printing are taken as "1" and those not as "0".

• The bit image modes specified by m are shown as follows:

Vertical Direction Horizontal Direction

m(Hex) Mode

No. of Dots Dot Density Dot Density Max. No. of Dots

0 8-dot single density 8 67 DPI 101 DPI 192

1 8-dot double density 8 67 DPI 203 DPI 384

32 24-dot single density 24 203 DPI 101 DPI 192

33 24-dot double density 24 203 DPI 203 DPI 384

[Caution] • When the values set in m (bit image mode) are out of the above range, the data

following after n1 is processed as normal printing data.

• After completion of bit image printing, printer returns to normal data processing mode.
