<< Details >>
Processes the data after nL as normal data if m is
outside the definable range.
nL and nH denote the number of horizontal dots of the
bitmap image to be printed, which is (nL+nHx256).
If bitmap image data exceeding the number of printable
dots in a line is entered, the excess data is discarded.
d denotes bitmap image data. The bit for the dot to be
printed is „1“ and the bit the dot not to be printed is „0“.
Returns to normal data processing after bitmap image
processing.
Has no effect on print modes (underline, character size)
excluding NORMAL.
Prints the entered bitmap image magnified three times in
the vertical direction if m=0 or 1 (8-dot mode) is specified
and two times in the horizontal direction if m=0 or 32
(single density mode) is specified.
The data format of a bitmap is as follows:
