Printer has bit-image graphic capability and a full PC-compatible
character graphic set. The bit image format is similar to that used on other personal
computer printers.
Character Graphics
Character graphics is the term for joining individual characters together to produce a
mosaic of characters that form a graphic image. The simplest method uses an * (or
any other character) to form an image. For example, TransAct
®
‘s printer brand of
“Ithaca” might be formed as follows.
*** *** * * ** *** **
* * * * * * * * * *
* * ***** **** * ****
* * * * * * * * * *
*** * * * * * *** * *

The extended character set of the printer supports line graphic characters that can be
combined to form windows and other shapes. For the shapes to join from line to line,
the spacing must be set properly.
