The “picture data” in the sixel mode command is the sixel graphics
data. Sixel graphics data is encoded in 8-bit bytes, each byte being an
ASCII character code between Hex 3F and Hex 7E. If a bit has a 1
value, the printer prints the pixel. If the bit is 0, no pixel prints. The fol-
lowing characters have special meanings in sixel graphics data.
Any character greater than Hex 7F exits sixel graphics data mode.
The following characters are reserved for future use:
<CAN>
Abort sixel graphics data mode.
<SUB>
Prints a blank sixel.
<ESC>
Exits sixel graphics data mode and begins a new
escape sequence.
!
Graphics Repeat Introducer (DECGRI). Precedes a
decimal integer repeat value for the next sixel. If the
integer is omitted or 0, the repeat value is 1. The
maximum repeat value is 32767.
“
Graphics Raster Attributes (DECGRA). Introduces
the pixel aspect ratio.
$
Graphics Carriage Return (DECGCR). Use this
