Graphics
Using graphics, the printer can produce lines, boxes, polygons, and circles. This
function is selected by entering an X in field b. The values entered in the data field
determine the sizes and shapes of the objects to be drawn. Forms can be created
using shaded boxes, complex logos, or even a simple diagonal line without the need
to download a graphics file to the printer.
Lines and Boxes
Lines and boxes are drawn by values that determine column and row starting
position, length, width, and wall thickness of the line or box. Depending on the
printer’s mode, all measurements are interpreted as inches/100 or millimeters/10
(see STX m Set Printer to Metric Mode). The data field jj…j is used to describe the line
or box dimensions.
