data
The graphic data is organized by byte.
For 8-wire modes, it is arranged and mapped to the wires identically to ESC K.
For 24-wire modes, the data has 3 bytes per slice, the most significant bit of the 1
st
byte mapping to the top wire and the least significant bit of the 3
rd
byte mapping to
the bottom wire. The slices are in sequence from left to right.
