Prints bit-image graphics at 60 dots per inch if no = Oor 120dots per
inch if no = 1.The graphics image is 9 dots high and nl + n2x 256dots
wide. Maximum width is 8 inches. Dots beyond the right margin are
ignored.
ml, m2, ... are byte pairs representing 9 vertical dots each. In
the leftmost position, the most significant bit of ml is the top dot; the
least significant bit of
ml is the second dot from the bottom; the most
significantbit of
m2is the bottom dot; and the other bits ofm2are ignored.
Other byte pairs are similar. The number of data bytes must be 2 x
(nl
+ n2 x
256). At the end of bit-image printing the printer returns auto-
matically to character mode.

Defines one or more new draft characters and stores them in RAM for
later use. DIP switch 2-1 must be OFF; otherwise RAM is used as an
input buffer, not for downloading characters, and this command is ig-
nored. Draft mode must be selected before this command is executed.
nl isthe character codeof the firstcharacter definedand n2isthe character
code of the last character defined.
ni and n2 must both be between 32
and 127or both be between 160and 255.
nl must be equal to or less than
n2. Use of character codes 32 (space) and 127 (delete code) should be
avoided if possible.
Each character is defined by an attribute byte (mo) and 11 data bytes
(ml, m2,.....
roll).
