The sixel graphics feature of LN03 Plus emulation enables the printer
to print pictures and to mix them with text data on the page. Sixels are
vertical lines of six pixels. To most printers, a pixel is equal to one dot.
On your QMS laser printer, one dot is 1/300” wide. With sixel graph-
ics, printing a picture requires less data (depending on the size of the
sixels) transmitted from the host.
