Prints the buffer and feeds the paper line feed.If the parameter
AGM : NO
has been
selected in the SETUP , the paper line feeds by n/216"; If the parameter
AGM : YES
has
been selected in the SETUP , the paper line feeds by n/180".
It also executes a carriage return, if the parameter
LF + CR : YES
has been selected in
the SETUP.
The value of
n
must be a multiple of 3 (minimum line feed). In 8-needle graphic printing,
the value 24/216" ensures that the lines meet perfectly.

Parameters n1 and n2 give the amount of graphic data plus 1 (calculations as for othe
r
BIM commands).
Normal and high resolution graphics modes (8 and 24 needles respectively) have the same
corresponding bit/needle relationships as those described for the standard graphics mode
(see
previous section
).
The vertical dot density is 1/180 in.
Example:
box 8x8 dots with center point 2x2 dots, standard density, 8 dots / column
