in which n is the number of dots defining the thickness of the rule or the depth
of the pattern.
Alternatively, to show the vertical dimension in decipoints, you send this
command:
<ESC> *c n V
in which n is the number of decipoints in the rule's thickness or the pattern's
vertical length.

You need the next five commands to choose and print the particular pattern
you want to fill your defined area. These commands work together.
With the Print Pattern command (which actually comes second) you specify
whether you want to fill your rectangular area with a solid black rule, a finely
dotted gray-scale pattern, ora predefine linear pattern. And with the Specify
Pattern command you can indicate which
particular
dotted or linear pattern
you want. You always send the Specify Pattern command before the Print
Pattern command, even if you want a solid black rule.
To indicate the particular pattern you want, send the following command.
The general meaning of then value you enter actually depends on the com-
mand you put after this:
<ESC>
*C n
G
If you want a solid black rule it doesn't matter what you put in for
n,
as the
printer ignores it.
If you want a 1-scaledotted pattern, fern you enter here a percentage number
from 1to 100indicating the density with which you want the box filled, from
light to solid. Your n percentage will correspond to one of the eight gray-
scale densities in the chart below.
