ESC '*' m nl nh [d]k
Code 1BH 2AH m nl nh [d]k
Definition Range
Function Stores a bit image of the number of dots specified by nl and nh in the line buffer in the mode
specified by m.
m
0 8 dots single density
1 8 dots double density
32 24 dots single density
33 24 dots double density
This command only stores the bit image in the line buffer in the standard mode. It is printed
through a print command or 1 line full.
Maps the bit image in the set print area in the page mode.
Notes When m is out of the definition range, the subsequent data is processed as normal data.
nl and nh indicate the horizontal dots of the bit image to be printed, and the number of data
dots is [nh × 256 + nl].
When bit image data exceeding the printable dots on 1 line is input, the excess data is
discarded.
d indicates the bit image data. The bits that correspond to dots to print are 1, and the bits that
correspond to dots not to print are 0. The data is input in the order in the figure below.
When the print area width set by the "Set Left Margin" command (GS 'L') or "Set Print Area
Width" command (GS 'W') is less than the minimum width of 1 internal character (the width of
the font size selected by character font selection), the following processing is performed only
for that line.
(1) Within the printable area, the print area is extended to the right side up to the equivalent
of the minimum width of 1 internal character.
(2) When an area up to the equivalent of 1 character cannot be secured even when (1) is
performed, the print area is extended to the left side. (The left margin is reduced.)
The printer returns to usual data processing after completion of processing the image data.
The print modes (bold printing, double strike printing, underline, character size, etc.) excluding
inversion (flip) printing have no effect.
