[Function] This command prints bit images with only the data count determined by n1, and n2 at standard or double
density.
Specify the horizontal print dot count (row) using n1 + n2 x 256 dots.
• m = 0: Print standard density 9 dot bit images.
The maximum number of dots in the horizontal direction is the total number of dots.
• m = 1: Print double density 9 dot bit images.
The maximum number of dots in the horizontal direction is the total number of half dots.
Dots adjacent in the horizontal direction do not print.
• m = 2: Print standard density 16 dot bit images.
The maximum number of dots in the horizontal direction is the total number of dots.
• m = 3: Print double density 16 dot bit images.
The maximum number of dots in the horizontal direction is the total number of half dots.
Dots adjacent in the horizontal direction do not print.
• m = 4: Print standard density 18 dot bit images.
The maximum number of dots in the horizontal direction is the total number of dots.
• m = 5: Print double density 18 dot bit images.
The maximum number of dots in the horizontal direction is the total number of half dots.
Dots adjacent in the horizontal direction do not print.
Note • Data exceeding the maximum number of dots or the right margin is ignored.
• Total number of dots and total number of half-dots follows the memory switch setting.
(See the specifications manual)
• When m is outside the defined area, the following process occurs.
Spec. 1
• Data after n1 is processed as normal data.
Spec. 2
• The dots for the horizontal print dot count (row) n1 + n2 x 256 are discarded.
• When printing of the bit image is ended, the system returns to normal data processing.
