[Name] Select bit-image mode
[Format] ASCII ESC * m nL nH d1...dk
Hex 1B 2A m nL nH d1...dk
Decimal 27 42 m nL nH d1...dk
[Range] m = 0, 1, 32, 33
0 ≤ nL ≤ 255
0 ≤ nH ≤ 3
0 ≤ d ≤ 255
[Description] Selects a bit-image mode using m for the number of dots specified by nL and nH,
as follows:
Vertical Direction Horizontal Direction
m
Mode Number of

(K)
0 8-dot single-density 8 67 DPI 100 DPI nL + nH ╳ 256
1 8-dot double-density 8 67 DP 200 DPI nL + nH ╳ 256
32 24-dot single-density 24 200DPI 100 DPI (nL + nH ╳ 256) ╳ 3
33 24-dot double-density 24 200 DPI 200DPI (nL + nH ╳ 256) ╳ 3
[Details] • If the values of m is out of the specified range, nL and data following are
processed as normal data.
• The nL and nH indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal
direction. The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH ╳ 256.
• If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line,
the excess data is ignored.
