Graphics 4-4 the same as in the Single Density mode. Double horizontal density requires twice the number of input data bytes to print the same length line as for Single Density. P rintĆ ing double density reduces the printing speed by half. D Control code ESC Y selects the Double Speed, Double Density Mode .
4-5 Graphics At 60 dpi, Single Density = 792 bytes; Double Density = 1584 bytes Quadruple Density = 3168 bytes D Data in excess of the right margin is discarded. If the auto line feed is enabled, data in excess of the right margin will cause a Line F eed (LF) and continue printing on the next line.
Graphics 4-6 In Normal Density Plot : D The mode is selected with the odd dot plot control code ENQ (05 hex). D The odd-numbered dot columns are addressed to produce a horizontal and vertical density .
4-7 Graphics Plot Data Byte F ormat In P-Series Plot Mode, the format is as follows: D Each data byte specifies six out of twelve dot columns. D Using odd dot plot mode, bits 1 to 6 of the data byte address the odd-numbered dot columns; using even dot plot mode, bits 1 to 6 of the data byte address the even- numbered dot columns.
Graphics 4-8 Plot Data Line F ormat A plot data line may contain any number of plot data bytes up to the maximum of 132 for hori Ć zontal dot density of 60 dpi (Data P rocessing mode) or 198 bytes for a horizontal dot density of 90 dpi (Correspondence mode).
4-9 Graphics 3. Send the odd dot plot control code ENQ (05 hex) and a second line of data, followed by a line terminator. a. A line feed (0A hex) used as the line terminator causes the contents of the buffer to be plotted and the paper advances a single dot row , based on the vertical density of the current mode.
Graphics 4-10 Plotting the Data P-Series Plot Mode plots the image from the horizontal bit pattern. Figure 4-8 duplicates the pattern shown in Figure 4-4 but is modified for Odd Dot Plot. Eight dot rows are required, two characters per row, six columns per character.

E-1 Appendix APPENDIX E DOWNLOADING CHARACTERS Introduction P9012 printers include the ability to create and download unique characters from the host com Ć puter to the printer's working memory (R AM). Downloaded characters must be reloaded each time printer power is recycled or RAM is cleared unless they are saved into nonvolatile memory.
Appendix E-2 {A}; is the single-character attribute flag identifying whether the character contains descenders (a portion of the character descends below the botĆ tom of the print line) or extenders (2 dot rows near the bottom of the character are repeated until what would be the next line boundary at 6 lpi).

Appendix E-4 Examples The following examples illustrate the process of creating three characters: one with no attribĆ utes, one with descenders, and one with extenders. NOTE: If adjacent dots are used to create the character , the printer will set an adjacent dot flag, and any line containing the character may print at half the normal speed.
E-5 Appendix The command for the character shown in Figure E-1 is defined as follows: ESC c {60}{57E}{0};{0;F00;1080;2041;2046;2048;2050;10E0;F00;0;0;0;} where: ESC c is the Serial Matrix Control Code Header introducing the Download a Character command.
