USAGE NOTES
• The command discards all data that goes beyond the current margin.
• Text and graphics can be printed on the same line.
• Each vertical dot column can have 8 rows of dots.
• ESC Z high-density graphics print at half-speed of normal-density bit image
graphics.
• ESC Z high-density graphics cannot print horizontally adjacent dots.
• See “Normal Density Bit Image Graphics (60 dpi)” on page 2-32 for more
information on bit image graphics.
High Resolution Graphics (259x only)
For 259x printers only.
This command sends data for dot matrix graphics to the printer.
Format ESC [ g n1 n2 m data
Decimal 27 91 103 n1 n2 m data
Hex 1B5B 67 n1 n2 m data
USAGE NOTES
• This command allows selection of eight modes for both emulated 8-wire
graphics and 24-wire graphics.
• Count the total number of bytes of binary bit-image data PLUS ONE (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.
