n Panel modes
As you'll learn in Chapter 5, this printer has many software
controls. But if you want to print in one fixed mode, ignoring the

mode
You already know that this printer represents
the state of the

pin printing.
The IBM graphics
printer
mode utilizes g-pin
graphics software which is commonly used by the IBM printer.
The IBM printer requires a different line feed pitch of either
n/72nd or n/216th inches. This printer normally uses a pitch of
nll80th
inches, due to its 24-pin design. To avoid software in-

with existing IBM graphics programs,
this printer
has been designed to most closely emulate the requirements
for
g-pin dot graphics compatibility.
This
unique
g-pin graphics emulation mode can be envoked as
