[Recommended Functions]

This command is supported only by some printer models and may not be supported by future models.
It is recommended that NV graphics function (GS ( L   /   GS 8 L: GS ( L   <Function 52> and GS ( L   <Function 80> GS ( L   <Function 85> ) be used because it offers the following additional features:
  • Multiple logo data and mark data can be specified. (except for some models)
  • Data can be controlled by key code.
  • Redefining or deleting the same data is possible for each key code.
  • Color can be specified for the definition data.
  • Data can be defined by raster format.
  • The remaining capacity of definition area can be confirmed.

[Notes]

  • This command is ignored if a downloaded bit image has not been defined.
  • When Standard mode is selected, this command is enabled only when there is no data in the print buffer and the printer is in the beginning of the line. If data exists in the print buffer, the printer processes m as normal data.
  • when Page mode is selected, this command develops the downloaded bit image data in the print buffer but the printer does not print the downloaded bit image data.
  • If a downloaded bit image exceeds one line, the excess data is not printed.
  • Downloaded bit image is printed in the default dot density (dot density of vertical and horizontal direction in normal mode) defined by GS ( L   <Function 49> .
  • The scales for width and height of downloaded bit images are specified by m. Therefore, in Page mode with 90° or 270° clockwise rotated bit image, the printer applies print area and dot density from [width: direction of paper feed, height: perpendicular to direction of paper feed].
  • The downloaded bit image is not affected by print mode (emphasized, double-strike, underline, character size, white/black reverse printing, or 90° clockwise-rotated), except for upside-down print mode.
  • This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the downloaded bit image, regardless of the line spacing specified by ESC 2 or ESC 3.
  • After printing the downloaded bit image, the print postion is moved to left side of the printable area. Also, the printer is in the status "Beginning of the line".
  • When printing a downloaded bit image, selecting unidirectional print mode with ESC U enables printing patterns in which the top and bottom parts are aligned vertically.
  • The downloaded bit image is defined by GS *   [obsolete command] .
  • The model dependent information such as dot density and maximum print area is the same as that of GS ( L   <Function 69> .
