[Details]
•
If the values of
m
is out of the specified range,
nL
and data following are
processed as normal data.
•
The nL and nH indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal
direction. The number of dots is calculated by
nL + nH
╳
256.
•
If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line,
the excess data is ignored.
•
d
indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or to 0
to not print a dot.
•
If the width of the printing area set by
GS L
and
GS W
less than the width
required by the data sent with the
ESC
*
command, the following will be
performed on the line in question (but the printing cannot exceed the maximum
printable area):
①
The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate the
amount of data.
②
If step
①
does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin is
reduced to accommodate the data.
•
After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing mode.
•
This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike,
underline, character size or white/black reverse printing), except upside-down
printing mode.
•
The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as
follows:
•
When 8-dot bit image is selected:
