Prints bit-image graphics at 60 dots per inch if n0 = 0 or 120 dots per
inch if nO = 1. The graphics image is 9 dots high and nl + n2 x 256 dots
wide. Maximum width is 8 inches. Dots beyond the right margin are
ignored. ml, m2, . are byte pairs representing 9 vertical dots each. In
the leftmost position, the most significant bit of ml is the top dot; the
least significant bit of ml is the second dot from the bottom; the most
significant bit of m2 is the bottom dot; and the other bits of m2 are ignored.
Other byte pairs are similar. The number of data bytes must be 2 x (nr
+ n2 x 256). At the end of bit-image printing the printer returns auto-
matically to character mode.

Defines one or more new draft characters and stores them in RAM for
later use. DIP switch 2-l must be OFF; otherwise RAM is used as an
input buffer, not for downloading characters, and this command is ig-
nored. Draft mode must be selected before this command is executed.
nl is the character code of the first character defined and n2 is the character
code of the last character defined. nl and n2 must both be between 32
and 127 or both be between 160 and 255. nl must be equal to or less than
n2. Use of character codes 32 (space) and 127 (delete code) should be
avoided if possible.
Each character is defined by an attribute byte (m0) and 11 data bytes
(ml, m2 ,..... mll).
