Graphics

Overview

This chapter explains how the printer produces graphic images.

The quickest way to produce graphic images is to use one of the many 
graphics software applications available. Any graphics program that is 
compatible with the Epson FX, Proprinter XL, or P-Series emulation should 
provide excellent results.

You can also use the Intelligent Graphics Processor (IGP) Printronix 
emulation or the Code V Printronix emulation. Both allow you to create and 
store forms, generate logos, bar codes, expanded characters, and other 
graphics.

Printing text and characters is the default mode of operation. However, your 
printer can print graphics.

•

When the emulation is in the Proprinter XL or Epson FX protocol mode, 
Bit Image graphics is used for graphics printing.

•

When the emulation is in the P-Series protocol mode, Odd/Even dot 
plotting is used for graphics printing.

Each line of graphics data must include a graphics control code to enable the 
emulation for the desired graphics mode of operation.

Bit Image Graphics

When the printer uses the IBM Proprinter XL or Epson FX emulation, it 
creates graphics by accepting bit image graphics data.

Bit image graphics are created by vertically printing the bit pattern of a series 
of data bytes. For example, the bit pattern of the ASCII character A (hex 41, 
decimal 65) is shown in Figure 4. If we rotate this data byte 90 degrees 
clockwise, we have a vertical data byte with the most significant bit (MSB) at 
the top. If we then print each 1 (true) bit as a dot, the result is a “bit image” plot 
of the ASCII character A.

Note

Text and graphics can be mixed on the same line when the printer plots bit 
images in the Epson or Proprinter XL emulation.
