In 24-dot graphics mode all the printhead's heat-
ing elements are used to create graphic
images.
When you send 24-dot graphics data to your
printer, you can specify low-resolution or high-
resolution graphics. In low resolution, each dot is
doubled horizontally, creating one additional dot
for each dot sent In high resolution, the dot pat-
terns are placed more precisely so you will get
smoother curves and more precise, straighter
lines.
