Plot Data Line Format
1.
The plot mode control code: either 05 hex (or “SFCC e”) for normal
density, or 04 hex (or “SFCC d”) combined with 05 hex for double
density plotting.
2.
The data bytes to be plotted.
3.
The line terminator 0A hex or 0C hex.
With print width set to 13.6 inches, a plot data line may contain any
number of bytes up to a maximum of 136 for horizontal dot density of
60 dpi or 272 bytes for a horizontal density of 120 dpi.
A plot data line may contain any number of data bytes up to the
maximum. If automatic line feed is disabled from the control panel
menu, any bytes over the maximum are lost (graphic character will
not wrap at the right margin). If the maximum is exceeded and
automatic line feed is enabled, a line feed (LF) is forced and the
remaining plot data are printed as text on the next line (graphic
characters will wrap in this case).
The plot mode command may occur anywhere in the line, but plot
speed may decrease if it is not at the beginning of the line.
Normal Density Plot Mode Format
1.
Send the plot command code ENQ (05 hex) or the control
sequence “SFCC e”.
2.
Send the plot data.
3.
End with a line terminator, either a LF (0A hex) or a FF (0C hex).
A CR (if CR = CR + LF has been configured from the control panel
menu) may also be used instead of the LF code.
4.
A line feed (0A hex) used as the line terminator causes the
contents of the buffer to be plotted and the paper advances a
single dot row
at the vertical density of the current mode.
5.
A form feed (0C) hex used as the line terminator causes the
contents of the buffer to be plotted and the paper to advance to
the top of the next form.
