STAR MODE
EXAMPLE
We will create the design below using a bit image.
First, since the volume of data is 30, n1 = (1E)
H. If the data m1 ~
m30 is converted to hexadecimal, it appears as shown below.
Horizontal density is three times that of the bit image for <ESC>“k”.
(Compare the print samples.)
Printing Sample
FUNCTION
Print fine density bit image
CODE
<ESC> “k” n <0> d1...dk [k = n * 24]
HEX
1B 6B n 00 d1...dk [k = n * 24]
REMARKS
Prints a bit image using 1 horizontal dot and 1 vertical dot for 1 dot
of input data.
n is designated by the number of data bytes in the horizontal
direction and n must be within the range 1 to 72.
The data is ignored if it is longer than 72 digits or goes beyond the
right margin. Relationship between the input data and actual
printing is shown below.
