Comments:
Defines a graphic image (bit image) pattern. The value of nl (from 0 -
127) specifies the number assigned to the image.
The value of n2 and n3
specifies the width of the image being defined in units of the minimum
-
increment specified by ESC q. The value of n4 and n5 specifies the
height of the image. In each case, the size is determined using the
formula: nl + (n2 x 256). These are followed by the bit image data. If a
specified image is already defined, the command is ignored.
The bit image data is defined as horizontal rows of dots, each byte
controlling eight dots in a horizontal row. You need to supply (width x
height) / 8 bytes of data.
