Description:
Activates the graphic printing ( 8 pins ) and prints a graphic line in the
resolution specified by m.
m determines the resolution of the graphic printing:
m = 0-> simple graphic density ( 70 dpi, corresponds to full dot )
m = 1-> double graphic density ( 140 dpi, corresponds to half dot )
The number of columns to be printed, and thus the number of data
bytes following n2 that are part of this control command, is the result
of k= n1 + (n2*256). n1 is therefore the low part, n2 the high part of the
data field length.
If the number of columns determined in this way is larger than the
printing area of the selected printing station, the extra data bytes have
no effect.
When m=0, the maximum number of columns is exactly half of this
amount, when m=1, it is exactly this amount.
After the graphic has been printed, the printer returns to the text mode;
text can be printed directly after the graphic.
The following illustration shows the relationship between the data bit
and the matrix point of the print head:
Remarks:
Graphic lines with double density are printed at half the normal printing
speed as dots cannot follow one another at full printing speed in the
half-dot matrix.
No line feed is executed. The command ESC J with n=16, for example,
must be used for the line feed between graphic lines which are to be
joined close together.
