[Description] Selects a bit-image mode using m for the number of dots specified by nL and nH, as follows:
[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:

8-dot double-density
24-dot single-density
24-dot double-density
