Many commercial software packages use bit images. This printer has six 8-pin bit image modes and five 24-pin bit image modes within Epson mode, and has four 8-pin/24-pin bit image modes within IBM mode, so that you have a wide variety of image printing. When you use a commercial software package, you should refer to your software instruction manual for the proper use. Each printer mode has its own bit image commands. Because differences between the two modes are few, only Epson mode is used here as an example of how to print bit images through software commands. 1. Dot Density Dot density (dot resolution) refers to the maximum number of dots that can be printed in an inch or on a line. This printer enables you to access a variety of dot densities through specific control commands. The various dot densities and corresponding control commands appear as follows: Command Function Dots/Inch Dots/Line ESC+"K"+n1+n2 Standard density 60 480 ESC+"L"+n1+n2 Double density 120 960 ESC+"Y"+n1+n2 Double speed,Double density 120D 960 ESC+"Z"+n1+n2 Quadruple density 240 1920 ESC+"*"+m+n1+n2 8-Pin Mode Selection: m=0 (Standard) 60 480 m=1 (Double) 120 960 m=2 (Double speed,Double density) 120D 960 m=3 (Quadruple density) 240 1920 m=4 (CRT I) 80 640 m=6 (CRT II) 90 720 24-Pin Mode Selection: m=32 (Standard) 60 480 m=33 (Double) 120 960 m=38 (CRT III) 90 720 m=39 (Triple) 180 1440 m=40 (Hex) 360 2880 ESC+"["+"g"+n1+n2+m 8-Pin Mode Selection: m=0 (Standard) 60 480 m=1 (Double) 120 960 m=2 (Double speed,Double density) 120D 960 m=3 (Quadruple density) 240 1920 24-Pin Mode Selection: m=8 (Standard) 60 480 m=9 (Double) 120 960 m=11 (Triple) 180 1440 m=12 (Hex) 360 2880 2. 8-Pin Bit Image Mode This printer has 24 pins in the printhead. The distance between the centers of adjacent pins is 1/180inch (0.14 mm), and the diameter of each pin is 1/127 inch (0.2 mm). In 8-pin bit image mode the 24 pins of the printhead are grouped as follows. One byte is sent to the printer for each column to be printed. Each bit of that byte represents an individual pin-block. By summing the powers of two corresponding to each pin-block you wish to fire, you will obtain a numerical value for the column in question. By sending a string of bytes, numerical values for each column on a line are input and processed. The result is one line of graphics. Pin-block Pin-block Code Pins Pin No. Pin-block Code Pin-block __________________________ __________________________ O 1 2^7=128 1 1 2^7=128 O 2 __________________________ __________________________ O 3 ________________1_and_2___ O 4 2^6=64 2 2 2^6=64 O 5 __________________________ __________________________ O 6 2^5=32 3 O 7 __________________________ 3 2^5=32 O 8 ________________3_and_4___ __________________________ O 9 2^4=16 4 O 10 __________________________ 4 2^4=16 O 11 2^3=8 5 __________________________ O 12 __________________________ O 13 ________________5_and_6___ 5 2^3=8 O 14 2^2=4 6 __________________________ O 15 __________________________ O 16 2^1=2 7 6 2^2=4 O 17 __________________________ __________________________ O 18 ________________7_and_8___ O 19 2^0=1 8 7 2^1=2 O 20 __________________________ __________________________ O 21 Not used O 22 Not used 8 2^0=1 O 23 Not used __________________________ O 24 Not used Epson mode and IBM mode IBM mode (Alternate Graphic Mode: ON) (Alternate Graphic Mode: OFF) Note: In the Epson mode or IBM mode with Alternate Graphic Mode (AGM) set to ON through the initial setup disk, 8-pin bit image graphics is printed by using all 24 pins in the printhead. In IBM mode with Alternate Graphic Mode (AGM) set to OFF, 8-pin bit image graphics is printed by using upper 20 pins in the printhead. As an example, suppose you want to fire pin-blocks 1, 2, 5 and 8 simultaneously. Then you compute the following sum: Input code = Pin-block 1 code + Pin-block 2 code + Pin-block 5 code + Pin-block 8 code = 2^7 + 2^6 + 2^3 + 2^0 = 128 + 64 + 8 + 1 = 201 Thus, the value 201 is entered in the CHR$ function in order to print a single column of dots resulting from firing pin-blocks 1, 2, 5, and 8. For our final example, refer to the standard density designation in Table above. This setting is given by ESC+"K"+n1+n2. To print image graphics, you must specify to the printer how many columns are to be used. This is done by finding values for n1 and n2, as follows: Divide the total number of columns you select, by 256 (max # of columns). The result is n1 and the remainder is n2. n1 = 100 MOD 256 = 100 n2 = 100 \ 256 = 0 so, n2=0 and n1=100 Our control code ESC+"K"+n1+n2 now translates into: LPRINT CHR$(27)+"K"+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0); If you use ESC+"["+"g"+n1+n2+m in IBM mode, compute the values of n1 and n2 as follows: n2 x 256 + n1 = Column x Bytes + 1 m=0, 1, 2, 3: Bytes=1 m=8, 9, 11, 12: Bytes=3 For example, 24-pin bit image of 100 column is: n2 x 256 + n1 = 100 x 3 + 1 = 301 so, n2=1 and n1=45. For example, you select 100 columns and double density (m=9), so your bytes are equal to 3. Now, use the following equation: 100 columns x 3 bytes + 1 = 301 (always add 1). Using the equation from above, we have: n1 = 301 MOD 256 = 45 n2 = 301 \ 256 = 1 so, n2=1 and n1=45 A programming example is as follows: 10 REM STANDARD DENSITY 20 WIDTH "LPT1:",255 30 OPEN "LPT1:" AS #1 40 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"3"+CHR$(24); 50 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"K"+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0); 60 FOR I=1 TO 5 70 PRINT #1,CHR$(1)+CHR$(2)+CHR$(4)+CHR$(8)+CHR$(16); 80 PRINT #1,CHR$(32)+CHR$(64)+CHR$(128)+CHR$(64)+CHR$(128); 90 PRINT #1,CHR$(64)+CHR$(128)+CHR$(64)+CHR$(128)+CHR$(64); 100 PRINT #1,CHR$(32)+CHR$(16)+CHR$(8)+CHR$(4)+CHR$(2); 110 NEXT I 120 PRINT #1,CHR$(13)+CHR$(10); 130 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"K"+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0); 140 FOR I=1 TO 5 150 PRINT #1,CHR$(128)+CHR$(64)+CHR$(32)+CHR$(16)+CHR$(8); 160 PRINT #1,CHR$(4)+CHR$(2)+CHR$(1)+CHR$(2)+CHR$(1); 170 PRINT #1,CHR$(2)+CHR$(1)+CHR$(2)+CHR$(1)+CHR$(2); 180 PRINT #1,CHR$(4)+CHR$(8)+CHR$(16)+CHR$(32)+CHR$(64); 190 NEXT I 200 PRINT #1,CHR$(13)+CHR$(10); 210 CLOSE 220 END Note: Line 20 and 30 are necessary for the proper execution of this program on many IBM-compatible computers. Line 40 is necessary to set the line feed for printing in the bit image mode. In the IBM mode, when AGM is set to OFF through the initial setup disk, it will amount to 24/216inch. 3. 24-Pin Bit Image Mode In the 24-pin bit image mode, all 24-pins of the printhead may be fired. In this mode, 3 data bytes must be sent to the printer for each column. The 24 pins in the printhead are divided into three portions, the upper 8 pins, middle 8 pins and lower 8 pins. As an example, suppose you want to fire pins 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 21 and 24 simultaneously. Then you compute the following three values: Byte 1: Input code=Pin 1 code+Pin 2 code+Pin 5 code+Pin 8 code =2^7 + 2^6 + 2^3 + 2^0 = 128 + 64 + 8 + 1 = 201 Byte 2: Input code=Pin 9 code+Pin 11 code+Pin 12 code =2^7 + 2^5 + 2^4 = 128 + 32 + 16 = 176 Byte 3: Input code=Pin 21 code+Pin 24 code =2^3 + 2^0 = 8 + 1 = 9 Thus, the three bytes for a single column of dots are entered as CHR$(201);CHR$(176);CHR$(9); Refer to the 24-pin standard density command. This setting is given by ESC+"*"+m+n1+n2, where m=32. Suppose you wish to print 100 columns of dots, where every column fires pins 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 21 and 24 as above. As in the 8-pin example, n1=100 and n2=0. Our command ESC+"*"+m+n1+n2 now translates into LPRINT CHR$(27)+"*"+CHR$(32)+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0); If we incorporate this information into a program, we might have the following: 10 REM 24 PIN STANDARD DENSITY 20 WIDTH "LPT1:",255 30 OPEN "LPT1:" AS #1 40 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"*"+CHR$(32)+CHR$(100)+CHR$(0); 50 FOR I=1 TO 100 60 PRINT #1,CHR$(201); 70 PRINT #1,CHR$(176); 80 PRINT #1,CHR$(9); 90 NEXT I 100 PRINT #1,CHR$(13)+CHR$(10); 110 CLOSE 120 END Note: If in IBM mode, AGM must be set to ON. If you use ESC+"["+"g"+n1+n2+m in IBM mode, you must change line 40 as follows: 40 PRINT #1, CHR$(27)+"["+CHR$(45)+CHR$(1)+CHR$(8); Bit Image Graphics prints uni-directional for high precision printing. For high speed printing set the printer to bi-directional printing through initial setup mode or through the initial setup disk. Graphics mode is released immediately following the printing of all bit image data. Printing will return to text mode. Bit image data is not affected by MSB control commands. 4. Alternate Graphic Mode (AGM) There are two methods of graphic printing in IBM mode. You can set them through Alternate Graphic Mode setting through the initial setup disk. When AGM is set to OFF, 8-pin bit image graphic is printed by using pins 1 through 20. When AGM is set to ON, the printing of 8-pin graphic mode is the same as in Epson mode. Also, graphic printing command, ESC+"*" in Epson mode is effective in this mode. Therefore, you can use the same command as in Epson mode. The following table shows commands affected by AGM mode. AGM ON AGM OFF ESC+"K"+n1+n2 use 24 pin use 20 pin ESC+"L"+n1+n2 use 24 pin use 20 pin ESC+"Y"+n1+n2 use 24 pin use 20 pin ESC+"Z"+n1+n2 use 24 pin use 20 pin ESC+"["+"g"+ 8-pin mode use 24 pin use 20 pin n1+n2+m 24-pin mode use 24 pin use 24 pin ESC+"3"+n based on 1/180 inch based on 1/216 inch ESC+"A"+n based on 1/60 inch based on 1/72 inch ESC+"J"+n based on 1/180 inch based on 1/216 inch <BIT IMAGE MODE REASSIGNMENT> Reassigns bit image graphics mode density.

Draft and Letter Quality (LQ) fonts can be downloaded simultaneously. Draft download characters are printed when the printer is in draft mode. LQ characters are printed when the printer is in LQ mode. To Download a character, you must first make preparations for: - Installing the 32K buffer option (KX-P44). - Download buffer selection is set through initial setup disk. *Making Maximum Use of the Buffer Epson mode: 18K (18,432) bytes are available and can be divided between draft and LQ characters in any combination, subject to hexadecimal address and buffer limits. Draft letters require 39 bytes maximum and LQ letters require 114 maximum. To determine if the desired combination will fit, use the formula: (# of draft characters x 39)+(# of LQ characters x 114) <= 18,432 For example: 120 draft and 120 LQ are desired. (120 x 39)+(120 x 114) = 4,680+13,680 = 18,360 Therefore this combination will fit. Because no more than 256 addresses can be identified in 1 byte (00h-FFh), 256 is the maximum number of draft characters that can be defined. The maximum number of LQ characters that can be loaded is 161. *Designing Download Characters 1. Draft Font To download a character you must first design the character. A draft font download character uses 9 columns and 24 rows of dots. Since a given column contains 24 dots, each column is divided into 3 portions, upper 8, middle 8 and lower 8 dots. Column 1 is labeled P1H for the upper 8 dots, P1M for the middle 8 and P1L for the lower 8 dots. Similarly, column 9 is labeled P9H for the upper 8 dots, P9M for the middle 8 and P9L for the lower 8 dots. Column 10, 11 and 12 are always set to zero, thus we are working with P1H through P9L. In the matrix below, the circles represent pins that may be fired. You may darken any circle, provided no two adjacent horizontal circles are filled in. Once you have designed the character, you must quantify each dot column, P1H-P9H, by summing the powers of two represented by each dot. Consider the design of the Greek character gamma.

The variables "n" and "m" are used for this purpose. The value specified for n indicates the location into which the first download character will be stored. The value specified for "m" indicates the location into which the last download character will be stored. If you are storing a single character, then n=m. Next define the value of "d0", "d1" and "d2", which specify attribute information. The attribute information includes the following: d0=number of space dot columns to the left of the character body d1=number of character body dot columns d2=number of space dot columns to the right of the character body In our sample program, we created a gamma character. This character consists of 1 left space dot column, 8 body dot columns and 3 right space dot columns. Therefore, d0=1, d1=8 and d2=3. In general, d1 cannot exceed 9 and d0+d1+d2 cannot exceed 12. Note: Program line 40 is necessary for downloading the draft font and designates draft printing. Program lines 80-150 use the eight values P2H-P9L to define the shape and size of the gamma. Program line 170 selects download character generator. After this selection, by printing the download code [in this example, CHR$(65)="A"] the downloaded character is printed. Two horizontal adjacent columns cannot be printed in either draft or LQ mode. 2. LQ Font Input format is the same as with draft fonts.

Name: ESC = n1 n2 35 A1 A2 Data Dec.: 27 61 n1 n2 35 A1 A2 Data Hex.: 1B 3D n1 n2 23 A1 A2 Data Comments: *This command is operational only when the 32K buffer option (KX-P44) is installed. *The values n1 and n2 indicate the number of data bytes to be downloaded. *The values A1 and A2 are the low order and high order address location of the character being defined. *When n1=n2=0, all previously downloaded characters are cleared. *Download Characters Should you need to custom design special characters in addition to those provided, the 32K byte buffer option (KX-P44), is required. Draft and Letter Quality (LQ) fonts can be downloaded simultaneously. Draft download characters are printed when the printer is in draft mode. LQ characters are printed when the printer is in LQ mode. To Download a character, you must first make preparations for: - Installing the 32K buffer option (KX-P44). - Download buffer selection is set through initial setup disk. *Making Maximum Use of the Buffer IBM mode: The 32K bytes available can be divided between draft and LQ characters in any combination. The download data also can be entered to RAM by compression. The maximum number of characters depends on the manner in which the characters are entered. *Entering Download Data IBM mode: Downloading fonts in IBM mode requires downloading character Dot Pattern data and character Index Table data. Dot pattern data controls which pins fire when printing a character. Index Table data is placed in a "look-up table" that provides information on where Dot Pattern data is stored in memory and defines certain attributes of the character. The format for the command to input download data is: ESC+"="+n1+n2+35+A1+A2+d1+d2+...+dx where n1+(256 x n2)=the number of data bytes to be downloaded, 35 is a fixed number that must always be sent, A1h and A2h indicate the low order and high order addresses in which data is to be stored, and d1, d2...is the data being downloaded. This data will be in one of two formats, depending on whether it is Dot Pattern or Index Table: 1. Index Table Addresses Starting memory addresses for Index Tables are: Draft (10 and 12 cpi) 8011HEX LQ 10 cpi 8912HEX LQ Proportional 9213HEX LQ 12 cpi 9B14HEX To calculate the address for an individual character Index Table Entry, use equation: Address=9 x ASCII character number+starting address. To find the address of the Index Table location for the draft letter "A": Multiply 9 x 65 (ASCII character number for "A")=585DEC Convert to hexadecimal=249HEX Add starting address for draft=8011HEX yielding 825AHEX making A1=5AHEX, and A2=82HEX. 2. Dot Pattern Data Dot Pattern data is sent for all columns that must be uniquely defined. If adjacent horizontal columns are identical (or can be made identical knowing that the printer will not print adjacent horizontal dots) data compression may be used and the duplicate data need not be sent. Dot Pattern data may be stored at any address from A414HEX to FFFFHEX inclusive. Dot columns for characters are as follows: Draft (10 and 12 cpi) 10 columns LQ 10 cpi 36 columns LQ 12 cpi 30 columns LQ Proportional 18-42 columns It is important to note that the last column is always blank. (e.g. A download draft character is defined by 9 columns. The printer automatically adds the tenth column.) Data=P1H+P1M+P1L+P2H+P2M+P2L+...+PnH+PnM+PnL 3. Index Table Data AA1+AA2+IT1+IT2+CM1+...+CM5 where AA1 and AA2 indicate the address where Dot Pattern data is stored. AA1 and AA2 are the high order and the low order bytes respectively. IT1 is Index Table byte #1. Bit designation is: Bit 0 1 7 Normal Character Graphic Character 6 Download Character Resident Character 5 to 0 Number of columns in the character memory IT2 is Index Table byte #2. Bit designation is: Bits 7, 6 Type of block graphic character 00 shading character 01 line drawing character 10 underscore character 11 not supported Bits 5 to 0 number of columns in the character less 1 [e.g. for draft characters, 10-1=9DEC=(001001)BIN bits 5 to 0=001001] From CM1 to CM5 are compression mask bits. (0=no compression, 1=compression) CM1 bit 7=1st dot column bit 6=2nd dot column . . . CM5 bit 3=37th dot column bit 2=38th dot column bit 1=39th dot column bit 0=40th dot column All block graphic characters are 30 dots high, even though only 24 dots are defined for each column. An underline is defined as a blank block graphic character (all zeros). The underline is generated by the printer during the second pass. A shadow character repeats dots 1 to 6 of each column as dots 25 through 30 respectively. A line draw character repeats dots 23 and 24 as the pairs 25 and 26, 27 and 28, and 29 and 30. Entry data can designate any character data image whether resident or downloaded. Multiple table entries can designate the same character. The address of an undefined entry should be 000. An undefined entry is printed as a space. Location 0 (00HEX) normally stores the slashed zero. If a character is downloaded into this location, when the slashed zero is selected through the initial setup disk, the downloaded character will print in place of any zero. 4. Data Compression Data Compression allows the efficient use of memory in storing downloaded characters, providing space for more characters than would be available without compression. The printer repeats the previous dot column in the current column when the current column compression mask bit is set to 1. 5. Resetting Download Area Issuing the command ESC+"="+0+0 initializes the download area. All previously downloaded characters are cleared and the Index Tables are loaded with information for resident fonts. 6. Programming Examples: To load the draft character used in the example for the Epson mode (Greek gamma), the following program may be used. 10 REM Greek Gamma Character Download and print 20 WIDTH "LPT1:",255 30 OPEN "LPT1:" AS #1 40 REM---(Initialize the Download Buffer) 50 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"="+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 60 REM---(Dot Pattern Data Entry to ASCII "A") 70 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"="+CHR$(30)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(35); 80 PRINT #1,CHR$(&H0)+CHR$(&HB0); 90 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(128)+CHR$(0); 100 PRINT #1,CHR$(1)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 110 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(128)+CHR$(0); 120 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(65)+CHR$(64); 130 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(18)+CHR$(16); 140 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(5)+CHR$(64); 150 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(16)+CHR$(0); 160 PRINT #1,CHR$(1)+CHR$(64)+CHR$(0); 170 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 180 REM---(Index Table Entry to ASCII "A") 190 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"="+CHR$(12)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(35); 200 PRINT #1,CHR$(&H5A)+CHR$(&H82); 210 PRINT #1,CHR$(&HB0)+CHR$(&H0)+CHR$(8); 220 PRINT #1,CHR$(10)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 230 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 240 REM---(Download Character print) 250 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"I"+CHR$(4); 260 FOR I=1 TO 10 270 PRINT #1,"A"; 280 NEXT 290 PRINT #1,CHR$(13);CHR$(10); 300 CLOSE #1 310 END In this example of Greek gamma, a character is not compressed, and data of CM1 through CM5 are all zeros.

Programming example for the one-eighth-note character is as follows: 10 REM One-eight-note Character Download and print 20 WIDTH "LPT1:",255 30 OPEN "LPT1:" AS #1 40 REM---(Initialize the Download Buffer) 50 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"="+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 60 REM---(Dot Pattern Data Entry to ASCII "B") 70 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"="+CHR$(45)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(35); 80 PRINT #1,CHR$(&H0)+CHR$(&HB0); 90 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 100 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(128); 110 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(1)+CHR$(64); 120 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(3)+CHR$(224); 130 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(7)+CHR$(240); 140 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(3)+CHR$(224); 150 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(1)+CHR$(64); 160 PRINT #1,CHR$(63)+CHR$(254)+CHR$(128); 170 PRINT #1,CHR$(14)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 180 PRINT #1,CHR$(6)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 190 PRINT #1,CHR$(3)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 200 PRINT #1,CHR$(1)+CHR$(132)+CHR$(0); 210 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(120)+CHR$(0); 220 PRINT #1,CHR$(0)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(0); 230 REM---(Index Table Entry to ASCII "B") 240 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"="+CHR$(12)+CHR$(0)+CHR$(35); 250 PRINT #1,CHR$(&H64)+CHR$(&H8B); 260 PRINT #1,CHR$(&HB0)+CHR$(&H0)+CHR$(14); 270 PRINT #1,CHR$(35)+CHR$(124)+CHR$(90); 280 PRINT #1,CHR$(85)+CHR$(47)+CHR$(240); 290 REM---(Download Character print) 300 PRINT #1,CHR$(27)+"I"+CHR$(6); 310 FOR I=1 TO 10 320 PRINT #1,"B"; 330 NEXT 340 PRINT #1,CHR$(13);CHR$(10); 350 CLOSE #1 360 END Note: The left most column of adjacent identical columns has its compression mask bit set to 0, and that bit in the other columns is set to 1. Entry data can designate any character data image whether resident or downloaded. Multiple table entries can designate the same character. The address of an undefined entry should be 000. An undefined entry is printed as a space. Location 0 (00HEX) normally stores the slashed zero. If a character is downloaded into this location, when the slashed zero is selected through the initial setup disk, the downloaded character will print in place of any zero. ASCII character in location 255 (FFHEX) cannot be defined. <ALL CHARACTER CHART PRINTING (Continuous)> Prints continuously from the All Character Chart.
