· In page mode, this command is not effective.
· This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike,
underline,character size, white/black reverse printing, or 90° rotated characters,
etc.), except upside-down printing mode.
· If the printing area width set by GS L and GS W for the NV bit image is less than one
vertical line, the following processing is performed only on the line in question.
However, in NV bit image mode, one vertical line means 1 dot in normal mode (m=0,
48) and in double-height mode (m=2, 50), and it means 2 dots in double-width mode
(m=1, 49) and in quadruple mode(m=3, 51).
①The printing area width is extended to the right in NV bit image mode up to one
line vertically. In this case, printing does not exceed the printable area.
②If the printing area width cannot be extended by one line vertically, the left
margin is reduced to accommodate one line vertically.
· If the downloaded bit-image to be printed exceeds one line, the excess data is not
printed.
· This command feeds dots (for the height n of the NV bit-image) in normal and
double-widthmodes, and (for the height n × 2 of the NV bit-image) in double-height
and quadruple modes,regardless of the line spacing specified by ESC 2 or ESC 3.
· After printing the bit image, this command sets the print position to the beginning of
the lineand processes the data that follows as normal data.

[Description] Define the NV bit image specified by n .
· n specifies the number of the defined NV bit image.
· xL, xH specifies (xL + xH ╳ 256) ╳ 8 dots in the horizontal direction for the NV
bit image you are defining.
· yL, yH specifies (yL + yH ╳ 256) ╳ 8 dots in the vertical direction for the NV bit
image you are defining.
[Details] · This command cancels all NV bit images that have already been defined by this
command.The printer can not redefine only one of several data definitions previously
defined. In this case, all data needs to be sent again.
