Note ( *) : Horizontal adjacent dots can not be printed.
The total column number is calculated by n1+n2 x 256 for 8-pin graphics and
(n1 + n2 x 256) x 3 for 24-pin graphics.
Each bit data in the 8-pin graphics corresponds to 2 print pins of the print head.
The following figure shows one column of data and its corresponding print position.
