[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 x 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 of 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.
·Refer to Figure 3.12.3 for the bit image development position in page
mode.
·The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as
follows:
·When 8-dot bit image is selected:
