Details
• If m is out of the domain of function, the data after nl is processed as the normal
data.
• nl and nh mean the number of dots in the horizontal direction of the Bitimage to
be printed.
• If the dot is specified beyond the printable area, the data is deleted.
• The data deployment position corresponds to the deployment start position.
