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

{0 <=d <=FFh)
{k = n1 + 256 X n2 (m = 0, 1)
{k = (n1+256 X n2) X 3} (m = 32, 33)
[Outline] According to the number of dots specified in n, n2, specify the bit
image of mode m.
• The total number 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 (384 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:
Vertical Direction Horizontal Direction
m Mode Dots Dot Density Dot Density Max. 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.
The command has another variant with four new modes:
ESC * m n[ d ] k
ESC * m n a f [ d ] k

[Caution] • With double height and double width being specified simultaneously,
double wide and double high characters are consisted.
• An underline is attached to the full character width, which, however,
is not attached to the part having been skipped by the horizontal tab.
Neither is it attached to 90°-right-turned characters.
• The underline width is as having been specified by <ESC - >.
(The default setting is 1 dot width)
• In case that double wide character and normal character exist in same
one line, the layout of underline is consistent one.
[Default] n = 0
