sent to the printer in the order shown:
Set graphics resolution
Start raster graphics
Transfer raster graphics
End raster graphics
Under certain circumstances, most of these commands are
optional. Refer to details in the following descriptions of
the commands.
NOTE: The third command actually comprises a separate
command for each row of the graphics image. Rows of
raster graphic images can be interspersed with text or rules
and patterns. Most other commands are also valid between
rows, including changes in print position.
Graphics printing ignores the text margins and perfora-
tion skip mode associated with printing text. The only
constraint on graphics is the printable area and the page
length.
It is helpful to set the VMI and HMI to one dot so that
all vertical and horizontal moves fall "on-grid". Since
each dot corresponds to 0.16 VMI's or 0.4 HMI's, this is
achieved as follows:
Command
Action
<ESC>&I.16C
Set VMI to
1/300-inch
<ESC>&k.4H
Set HMI to
1/300-inch

Page Orientation
We recommend using the portrait orientation when print-
ing graphic images. If you use the landscape orientation,
remember that the "left" graphics margin is actually the
margin at the top of the page.
