[Note]
•
If the values of m is out of the specified range, nL and data following are processed
as normal data.
nL and nH represents the horizontal upper figure points, calculated by nL + nH256 points.
•
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 0to
not print a dot.
•
If the width of the printing area set by GS L and GS W less than the widthrequired
by the data sent with the ESC * command, the following will beperformed on the line
in question (but the printing cannot exceed the maximumprintable area):
①
The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate theamount
of data.
②
If step
①
does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin isreduced
to accommodate the data.For each bit in the single density mode (m = 0, 32) of the
data, the printer prints two points: For double density mode (m = 1,33) of each bit of
data, the printer prints a dot . When calculating the amount of data that can be printed
on one line, they must be considered.
•
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-
downprinting mode.
•
The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as
follows:
•
When 8-dot bit image is selected:
