[Function] This command executes the bit image of a density doubled (half dot printing) for just the data count
determined by n1 and n2.
The amount of data that can be printed in one line is only the total half-dot count. Data that exceeds the
total half-dot count or the right margin is ignored.See each printer’s product specifications manual for details
regarding the total half-dot count.
The relationship of the print head needle wires and the data is the same as ESC K (standard density bit
image).
When printing double-density bit images, dots adjacent in the horizontal direction do not print.
The printing of this command is a uni-directional print (SP2000, BD100).
After printing the bit image, the printer automatically returns to the character mode.
