Selects double density, double speed bit-image graphics of 120
dpi horizontally and 72 dpi vertically.
Where:
n1 = 0 through 255
n2 = 0 through 31
n1 + (256 x n2 ) defines the number of data bytes to follow.
d1 d2...dk = ASCII characters for the dot pattern bytes.
top and "1" bits producing dots. (0 < = d < = 255)
This mode prints double density with no adjacent dots. It is
similar to ESC L, except that if the graphics data contain
horizontally adjacent dots, the data may print incorrectly. This
feature is widely used to move the print head precisely by
printing blank dot columns.
The following example produces a double density, double
speed graphic image of the pattern used in the standard
density example. The amount of data must be doubled for
double density (the data is used 54 times rather than 27).
