[Details] • If the values of m is out of the specified range, nL and data following are
processed as normal data.
• The nL and nH indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal
direction. The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH
╳
256.
• If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line,
the excess data is ignored.
• d indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or to 0
• If the width of the printing area set by GS L and GS W less than the width
required by the data sent with the ESC * command, the following will be
performed on the line in question (but the printing cannot exceed the maximum
① The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate the
② If step ① does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin is
reduced to accommodate the data.
• After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing mode.
• This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike,
underline, character size or white/black reverse printing), except upside-down
• The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as
• When 8-dot bit image is selected:
