If the value 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.
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:
