The resolution is still 120 dots per inch. Each 8-in line can accommodate
960 columns of graphic dots. A graphic string that exceeds the length of
the print line is discarded. Make sure adjacent dots in a given dot row are
not printed.

Select Low-Speed Quadruple Density Graphics Mode

With this 8-pin graphics mode, the number of dots per inch has gone up
to 4x what it was in single density. Calculating the parameters, n1 and
n2, is described below.

The resolution is now 240 dots per inch. Each 8-in line can
accommodate 1920 columns of graphic dots. A graphic string that
exceeds the length of the print line is discarded. Make sure adjacent dots
in a given dot row are not printed.
Nine-Pin Graphics Modes
These 9-pin graphics functions also require two parameters, n1 and n2.
They are calculated slightly different than in the 8-pin graphics modes.
Since two data bytes represent each dot column to print, first divide the
total length of the graphic string (following the Select Graphics Mode
command) by two. These parameters are calculated as follows (assuming
a temporary variable n):
•
n = total number of dots needed, divided by 2
•
n2 = integer of (n divided by 256)
• n1 = remainder of the n2 calculation
First, divide n (the total number of dots needed for the graphics string)
by 2, then divide the result by 256. Then n2 is the quotient (the whole
number) and n1 is the remainder. If you require less than 256 dots
(columns), then n1 indicates the number of dots and n2 is set to zero.
