<BIT IMAGE>
* Bit Image (Graphics)
The bit image (Graphics) enables you to control the firing
of each pin of the printhead to create virtually any graphics
design you desire.
1. Dot Density
Dot density (dot resolution) refers to the maximum number of dots
that can be printed in an inch or on a line. This printer enables
you to access a variety of dot densities through specific control
commands. The various dot densities and corresponding control
commands appear as follows:
Command Function Dots/Inch Dots/Line
ESC+"K"+n1+n2 Standard density 60 480
ESC+"L"+n1+n2 Double density 120 960
ESC+"Y"+n1+n2 Double speed,Double density 120 960

2. 8-Pin Bit Image Mode
Of the 9-pins in the printhead, the 8-pin bit image graphics
mode uses the upper eight pins only. Each pin corresponds to
a power of two. By summing the powers of two corresponding
to each of the pins you wish to fire, you will obtain a
numerical value which instructs the printer to print one column
of dots. Through such techniques in BASIC as looping, numerical
values for each column on a line are input and processed. The
result is one line of graphics.

-------------------------------------------------
1 O 2^7=128 Not used
2 O 2^6=64 2^6=64
3 O 2^5=32 2^5=32
4 O 2^4=16 2^4=16
5 O 2^3=8 2^3=8
6 O 2^2=4 2^2=4
7 O 2^1=2 2^1=2
8 O 2^0=1 2^1=1
9 O Not used Not used
As an example, suppose you want to fire pin-blocks 1, 2, 5 and
8 simultaneously. Then you compute the following sum:
Input code = Pin 1 code + Pin 2 code + Pin 5 code + Pin 8 code
= 2^7 + 2^6 + 2^3 + 2^0
= 128 + 64 + 8 + 1
= 201
Thus, the value 201 is entered in the CHR$ function in order to
print a single column of dots resulting from firing pin-blocks
1, 2, 5, and 8.
For our final example, refer to the standard density designation
in Table above. This setting is given by ESC+"K"+n1+n2. Suppose
you wish to print 100 columns of dots, where every column fires
pin 1 and 8 only.
You first compute the values of n1 and n2.
This is done by finding values for n1 and n2, as follows:
Divide the total number of columns you select, by 256 (max # of
columns). The result is n1 and the remainder is n2.
n1 = 100 MOD 256 = 100
n2 = 100 / 256 = 0 so, n2=0 and n1=100
Our control code ESC+"K"+n1+n2 now translates into:
LPRINT CHR$(27)+"K"+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0);
Next compute the code for firing pins 1 and 8 simultaneously:
Input Code = Pin 1 code + Pin 8 code
= 2^7 + 2^0
= 128 + 1
= 129
Finally, we incorporate our two calculations into the following
program. Note that lines 20 and 30 are necessary for the proper
execution of this program on many IBM-compatible computers.
Such BASIC statements suppress CR and LF codes and enable
printing on a full line without unwanted "breaks". Programs
which include statements such as lines 20 and 30 cannot use
LPRINTs to print data. In such cases, PRINT # statements must Suppose you wish to print 100 columns of dots, where every

fires pins 1,2,5,8, and 9 as above.
A programming example is as follows:
As in the 8-pin example , n1=100 and n2=0. Our control code
10 REM STANDARD DENSITY ESC+^+m+n1+n2 now translate into:
20 WIDTH "LPT1:",255
30 OPEN "LPT1:" AS #1 LPRINT CHR$(27)+"^"+CHR$(0)+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0);
40 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"K"+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0);
50 FOR I=1 TO 100 If we incorporate this information into a program, we might
60 PRINT #1, CHR$(129); have the following:
70 NEXT I
80 PRINT #1,CHR$(10); 10 REM 9-PIN STANDARD DENSITY
90 CLOSE 20 WIDTH "LPT1:",255
100 END 30 OPEN "LPT1:" AS #1
40 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"^"+CHR$(0)+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0);
3. 9-Pin Bit Image Mode 50 FOR I=1 TO 100
60 PRINT #1, CHR$(201)+CHR$(128);
In the 9-pin bit image mode, all 9 pins of the printhead may 70 NEXT I
be fired. The 9 pins in the printhead are divided into two 80 PRINT #1,CHR$(10);
portions, the upper 8 pins and the bottom pin. 90 CLOSE
100 END
As in the 8-pin mode, the upper 8 pins correspond to powers
of two, ranging from 2^0 to 2^7. The firing of one or more of <STANDARD DENSITY GRAPHICS>
these 8 pins represents 1 bytes of data. When fired, it is Sets standard density graphics mode [60 dots per inch

The value specified for "Cs" indicates the ASCII location into 1

In our sample program, we created two musical note characters, Comments:

one using the upper 8 pins of the printhead, and the other using
the lower 8 pins. These two distinct characters were stored in
the ASCII locations where characters "A" and "B" are normally
stored (see program line 110). Since "A" resides in the ASCII
location 65 DEC and "B" resides in ASCII location 66 DEC, the
following program lines are equivalent.
110 LPRINT CHR$(27)+"&"+CHR$(0)+"AB";
or
110 LPRINT CHR$(27)+"&"+CHR$(0)+CHR$(65)+CHR$(66);
Notice that Cs=65, Ce=66. Also note that CHR$(65)="A" and
CHR$(66)="B".
We must next define the value of "At", which specifies the attribute
information.

*When you select an NLQ font (Courier, Roman, Sans Serif, Bold
PS)
through setup disk or Front Panel, the printer will print draft
download characters in NLQ mode.
*The downloadable draft font actually consists of 12 columns of
dots,
but P12 is always set to zero.
*Downloaded draft characters require 12 bytes per character: 1
byte
for attribute information and 11 bytes for the character design.
*Avoid continuous printing of download characters with high dot
densities. 1 line has 8 pin x 11 columns x 136 character dot (11968
dot/line). Keep the line density to 25% of maximum (2992 dot /line).
*In single height print mode, avoid using the same pin in two
adjacent
columns, otherwise, the pin in the second column of the pair will
not
be fired. In double height print mode, the musical note will print
like the figure below. Pins will be fired in all the specified dot
positions (O and X) and printer add dots(*). If you select draft mode
specified dots (X) are not printed. However, you have to specify
these dots (O) in order to print the character in double height mode
or when NLQ is set from setup disk or Front Panel.

Dot density (dot resolution) refers to the maximum number of dots
that can be printed in an inch or on a line. This printer enables
you to access a variety of dot densities through specific control
n1 = 100 MOD 256 = 100
n2 = 100 / 256 = 0 so, n2=0 and n1=100
