n1n2

Function

Prints the next (n1*256 + n2) dotlines as bit-mapped

graphics. n1n2 form a 16-bit binary number set, the most

significant byte first. Used to print user-generated bitmap

graphics across the width of the printhead. After receipt of this

command, the printer dumps the binary data directly to the

printhead. As customary with bitmap data, a 1 bit indicates a

dot is on, 0 bit indicates the dot is off. Graphics printed using

this command must be the exact width of the head in bits. Bit

7 of the first byte of data received prints at the left-most dot

on the head as you view the printhead with the paper feeding

away from you. The printer remains in bit-mapped graphics

mode until the total amount of bytes necessary to fill n1n2

lines of print are received by the printer. Use the following

table for guidelines when adding a bit-mapped graphic.
