Each line to be printed as graphics must have one of the three
graphic control codes (ENQ, EOT, DLE) in the line of data. The ENQ

and EOT codes can be placed anywhere in the line of data. When
used, the DLE code must always be placed after the ENQ code.

The following densities are available using the formats shown:

The dot pattern for a particular character is the same regardless of
density. The density difference is a shift to the right by 1/120 inch for
high density.

Normal-Density Graphics

At 60 dpi horizontal density, one line of characters is used for each
dot row. The normal density plot mode character (ENQ) can appear
anywhere in the line. The line must be terminated with an LF. At the

end of graphics printing, send an empty data line containing only an
LF.

High-Density Graphics

At 120 dpi horizontal density, each dot row requires two lines of
characters. The first line contains the high density plot mode code
(EOT) and must be terminated with a CR.

The second line contains the normal density plot mode code (ENQ)

and must be terminated with an LF.

At the end of graphics printing, send an empty data line containing
only an LF for proper termination.
