Graphics printing proceeds at the same rate as condensed printing Print ing at higher density does require two passes per line The graphics mode requires a method to tell the printer which pins to fire in each column Since there are 256 possible combinations of eight pins you need a numbering system that allows you to use a single number to specify which of the 256 possible patterns you want e 128 4 e 64 2 e 32 e 1 16 Not Used 8 Vertical spacing between dots is 1 72 You can fire any combination of pins by adding the appropriate values to gether To fire any one pin send its corresponding number To fire more than one pin at the same time add up the numbers of the pins and send the sum to the printer For example you fire the top pin by sending 128 or fire the bottom pin by sending 1 If you want to fire both the top and bottom pins you send 129 12841 Graphics Command Format There are several different graphics commands offering a variety of hori zontal dot densities and printing speeds The format is similar for all the commands Each command is an escape sequence corresponding to the graphics mode followed by mJ and z2 to specify the number of columns reserved for graphics Column Reservation Numbers 60 Even in 60 DPI graphics mode one 8 line can accommodate 480 col umns of graphics in 240 DPI graphics mode quadruple density almost 2000 columns can fit on the same 8 line Since the printer
