480 columns of graphics; quadruple-density, almost 2OOO columns
can fit on the same g-inch
Since the &inter does not use
decimal numbers larger than
255,
the graphics mode command uses
two numbers for reserving columns.
To figure and divide the total number of columns by 256.
The result is the’ remainder is Since the command is set up
for two numbers, you must supply two even if you need only one.
When you need fewer
256 just make the number
of you are and make zero. For example, if
you wish to of data; should be
+ (6 256).
If you are using a programming language with MOD (modulus) and
INT (integer) functions, you can use the following formulas to
in the columns:
The will’ the of ‘by and
as no titter This means
that you must be sure to data or
the printer will stop and wait for more data and will seem to be
locked. If, on the other hand, you supply too much graphics data,
the excess
be interpreted and printed as regular text.
