Normal Density Bit Image Graphics (60 dpi)
This command sends normal density bit images to be printed at 60 dots per inch (dpi)
horizontally and 72 dpi vertically.
USAGE NOTES
• The command discards all data that goes beyond the current margin.
• Text and graphics can be printed on the same line.
• Count the total number of bytes of binary bit-image data (A). The total number
of bytes cannot exceed the number of dot columns that remain on the line.
This value is represented by Ln and Hn.
– When a value is represented by two parameter bytes, value (A) = Ln + Hn
X 256. Calculate values of A less than 256.
• Hn is 0.
• Ln is the value.
– To calculate values of A equal to or greater than 255.
• Divide the value A by 256.
• The result is Hn.
• The remainder is Ln.
• V1 though Vn represent graphics data.
Each vertical dot column can have 8 rows of dots.
To print bit image graphics, the printer uses either the first 8 (258x) or 20 (259x) wires
of the printhead to map the eight bits of data.
The following table shows how the print wires are mapped for the 258X printers.
Format ESC K Ln Hn V1 ... Vn
Decimal 27 75 Ln Hn V1 ... Vn
Hexadecimal 1B 4B Ln Hn V1 ... Vn
