If you have a program that produces graphics, all you need to
know about Epson dot graphics is how to use the software. If, on
the other hand, you wish to do your own programming or merely
wish to understand how the LX-86 prints graphics, read on.

Dot Patterns

The Lx-86 forms graphic images approximately the same way that
pictures in newspapers and magazines are printed. If you look closely
at a newspaper photograph, you can see that it is made up of many
small dots. The Ix-86 also forms its images with patterns of dots. In
fact, the resolution of Epson graphics is higher than that of standard
newspaper photographs because the LX-86 graphics mode allows as
many as 240 dot positions per inch horizontally and 72 vertically. The
images you print on the Ix-86 can, therefore, be as finely detailed as
the one on the first page of this chapter.
If you plan carefully where you want the dots to appear and then
use or create a program that gives the proper instructions to the
printer, your LX-86 will print nearly any pattern or figure you can
imagine.
