6.5.15 Image Command
ESC '*' m nl nh {DATA} Set Bit Image Mode
Code 1BH 2AH m nl nh {d1 d2•••dk}
m: 0,1,32,33 (mode setting)
0
nh×256＋nl4095
Function Sets the bit image mode and prints bit image.
m indicates the bit image mode.
The bit image modes are related to the set bit images as shown below when the horizontal
image width is 104mm (832 dots).

If m is not one of the values listed above, ESC '*' m is ignored and the subsequent data will be
processed as normal data.
Number of dots in the horizontal direction = nhx256+nl
If nl = nh = 0, the data before nh is ignored, and the following data will be processed as normal
data.
d indicates bit image data. The image data k is as follows:
8-dot bit image: k = (nh
256+nl) bytes
24-dot bit image: k = (nh
256+nl)  3 bytes
If the number of dots in the horizontal direction exceeds the printable area, the excess data is
ignored.
