Graphics
The printer uses a single line thermal print head with elements spaced at 0.125mm. The MtP400 series print
heads have 832 elements for a print width of 104mm. The graphic commands allow control of each one of the
heating elements. After each line of graphic data, the paper is automatically advanced 0.125mm to position the
paper for the next graphic line. To advance the paper by additional graphic increments without printing, refer
to “Variable Size Line Feed” on page 11.
8-Bit Graphics ESC # h w data
This command may be used to print any graphics pattern. The height and width of the graphic image may be
specified as shown below. Each line must contain the same number of bytes (width).
The image will be printed starting from the left margin and up to the right margin. If the width specified will
not fit within the margins, the right side of the image will be truncated.
