6. Graphics
Using graphics, the printer can produce lines, boxes, polygons, and circles. This function is
selected by entering an X in field b. The values entered in the data field determine the sizes and
shapes of the objects to be drawn. Forms can be created using shaded boxes, complex logos, or
even a simple diagonal line without the need to download a graphics file to the printer. The
following sub-sections describe how to generate each kind of graphic.
Lines and Boxes
Lines and boxes are drawn by values that determine column and row starting position, length,
width, and wall thickness of the line or box (see Appendix J). All measurements are interpreted
as inches/100 or millimeters/10, depending on the printer’s mode (see <STX>m). The data
field jj…j is used to describe the line or box dimensions.
