■ The functions used to store graphics data directly to the print buffer are this
function and Function 113.
Even with printer models that support both, it is recommended that only one of
the functions be used for data definition tasks.
• The two functions differ only in that one function (this function) defines data
in raster format, while the other (Function 113) defines data in column format.
■ Use this function when the printer enters the “beginning of the line” or
“except for graphic data, no data in print buffer” state during the standard mode.
■ This function is incompatible with macros, so make sure to avoid including it
when defining macros.
■ NV graphics data that exceeds the print area for one line will not be printed.
■ The scales for width and height of graphics are specified by (x, y). Therefore, in
page mode with 90° or
270° clockwise-rotated graphics, the printer applies print area and dot density from
[x: direction of paper feed, y: perpendicular to direction of paper feed].
■ Settings for text effect (bold, underline, orientation) and font size do not affect
the printing of the NV
graphics data.
■ Print position does not change before and after this function is used.
Overprinting of data of multiple colors can be performed by simply changing the
selected color (c) and running this function again, but it is not possible to specify
the same color to overprint.
■ Use Function 50 to print graphics after graphics data has been stored in the
print buffer when the standard mode is selected.
■ The data for byte k of d1 ... dk is processed as a single item of defined NV
graphics data. The defined data (d) specifies “1” for bits corresponding to dots
that will be printed and “0” for bits corresponding to
dots that will not be printed.
■ NV graphics data is defined using the dot density set by Function 49.
■ During processing of this function, real time commands are not available.
■ The relationship between NV graphics data (raster format) and print results is
shown in the table below.
