•  This command enables you to define and print a single line raster bit image on a single text line.   
•  n

 define the number of bytes that comprise the image. 
•  The image consists of 256*n

 bytes of data, each byte representing a single vertical column of 
4/30". 
•  Each byte represents a vertical column of eight dots, the most significant bit representing the dot at 
the top.  Simply set a bit to 1 if you want a dot to appear in that position, and to 0 if you want white 
space to appear. 
•  Images are printed from left to right. 
•  Images are printed at a horizontal resolution of 60 dots per inch and at an approximate vertical 
resolution of 72 dots per inch. 
•  You can only use this command in portrait orientation.
