s well as the graphic modes described in the previous section, the printer can also print
Epson LQ-800/LQ-1000 compatible graphics,
using the Alternate Graphics Mode (AGM)
feature.
When the Alternate Graphics Mode feature is selected during the SETUP (
AGM : YES
),
the values of command codes
ESC 3
,
ESC J
, and
ESC A
are altered with respect to their
standard functions, and the command code
ESC *
is activated.

n = 1 - 255
If the paramete
r

M
: NO
has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the n/216"
(0,1176 x n mm) line feed;
If the parameter
AGM : YES
has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the n/180"
(0,141 x n mm) line feed.
This is the line feed recommended for graphic printing (BIM). If programmed to 24/216", it
ensures that the various lines in 8-needle graphic printing meet perfectly.
It remains valid until a new line feed command is received.
To obtain precise line feeds, always use multiples of 3 for parameter
n
.

n = 1 - 85
If the parameter
AGM : NO
has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the n/72" (0,3528 x n

has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the
n/60"
(

line feed.
It will only be executed when the command
ESC 2
is received. Until then the current line
feed remains valid.
Note:
