Epson Y465ss127mo - Manual (Page 124)

The actual pattern
that
the printer prints on
the
paper is made up of dots
that overlap each other both vertically and horizontally. The reason the
planning grid uses
an
x for
each
dot is that using an accurate
representation of
the
dots makes calculating the data numbers difficult
because they cover each other. Therefore, remember that
each x
represents the center of a dot, and the dots actually overlap.
Write the assigned values of the pins next to your design and then total
the values for
each
column of dots. These totals are the values that will
be sent to the printer as graphics data.
The following figure is the same grid divided into three sections to make
the data calculation easier. At the bottom of each section of each column
is the total of the pin numbers for that section. This gives you a total of
126
data numbers necessary to print this small figure.
