Graphics and User-defined Characters

The dot graphics mode allows your FX to produce pictures, graphs,
charts, or almost any other pictorial material you can devise, and the
user-defined character feature allows you or a commercial software
program to put special characters in the FX's memory so that it can
print them just as if they were ordinary letters.
Because many commercial software programs use graphics, you may
be able to print pictures and graphs like the ones on this page and the
next by simply giving your software a few instructions.
The quickest and easiest way to print graphics on your FX is to use a
commercial graphics program. With such programs you usually create
an image on your monitor and then give a command to send the
image to the printer.
