This command enables the dot graphics mode. The density is selected according to the GRM command.
The line spacing value automatically changes if 72-dpi resolution (6-bit mode) is active.
The line spacing value for 180-dpi resolution (24-bit mode) must be selected prior to entering graphics
mode.
In 6-bit mode, only 6 bits of a data byte are required to determine which wires are fired. Therefore, only
one byte is required for each graphics dot column.
In 24-bit mode, 24 bits of four data bytes are required to determine which wires are fired. Only 6 bits of
each byte are used. Therefore, four bytes are required for each graphics dot column.
