m= 0, 1, 32, 33
0 ≤ n1 ≤ 255
0 ≤ n2 ≤ 1
0 ≤ d ≤ 255
k = n1 + 256 x n2 (m = 0, 1)
k = (n1+ 256 x n2) x 3 (m = 32, 33)
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 residualas 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 dots) , 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:
[Outline]
• 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.
