Programming Codes
<format> = byte specifying the format of the graphics data.
0 for raw data
1 for bit wise RLE compression
8 for byte wise RLE compression
254 for difference compression
255 for same as previous scan line data
<data> = the data bytes that define the graphics to be printed.
[ESC] * Set horizontal graphic mode
ASCII [ESC] * <m> <0> <0>
Hexadecimal 1BH 2AH <m> <0> <0>
Decimal <27> <42> <m> <0> <0>
IPCL none
Description The [ESC] * <m> <0> <0> command selects one of the three graphic
modes specified by <m>. The two bytes after the mode must be zero.

Note 1: Only modes 10 thorough 13 should be selected for horizontal
graphics.
Example Command
[ESC] * <10> <0> <0>
[ESC] h <1> <9> <0> <eight data bytes>
[ESC] h <2> <9> <0> <eight data bytes>
[ESC] h <3> <9> <0> <eight data bytes>

Note 2: Graphic data is committed to paper when more than 12 dot rows
have been transmitted to the printer. If less than 12 dot rows have been
sent, they are not printed until the line is terminated (i.e. a line feed
command is sent). To make graphics faster to send and smaller to store,
several algorithms are included with the graphic command to compress
the data.
