Individual graphics option commands
There are four individual graphics option commands that are very
much the same as the ESC * command, but each one works for only
one graphics option. All these commands are for 8-pin graphics
options. Note that the commands contain one less variable than the
ESC * command because they don’t need to select a graphics option.
The commands are shown below:
Command Function
ESC K Single-density
ESC L Double-density
ESC * format
ESC*0
ESC*1
ESC Y
ESC Z
Double-density, high-speed
ESC *2
Quadruple-density
ESC*3
Because of a difference in line spacing increments, the shape of
graphics figures produced on the printer with an 8-pin option is
different from the output from the same program on a 9-pin printer.
The reassigning command
The printer has a command that allows you to change the graphics
option assigned to any of the four individual graphics option
commands. The command looks like this:
