j . . . APPENDIX DES/GN/NG BIT-IMAGE GRAPHICS b *- b”. c- ..- In Appendix E, we showed you the many block graphic characters provided by the printer. You can use these characters to create bar graphs, pie charts, or just about any kind of graphic image you can think of. In addition to block graphics, we’d like to introduce you to bit-image graphics-for the truly imaginative user who will settle for nothing less than total control of the printer. You’ll see that its bit-image graphics give you new capabilities in business applications, computer art, and even allows you to create your own “alphabet”! When you program the printer to perform bit-image graphics, you literally control every pin on its 24-pin print head. As a result, you can print as many as 1,440 dots horizontally, and up to 1,320 dots vertically on an 8 112-x-i l-inch page. . . L c h • FOUR MODES FOR BIT-IMAGE GRAPHICS The printer has four distinct bit-image modes, allowing you to print: • 8-bit graphics, with 1 data byte controlling each column, • 16-bit graphics, with 2 data bytes controlling each column, • 24-bit graphics, with 3 data bytes controlling each column, and @8x3-bit graphics, in which each byte controls 3 columns of graphics data and each bit controls 3 pins of the print head. The relationships between your graphics data and the pins on the print head are shown in Figures F-l, F-2, F-3 and F-4 for the four bit-image modes. c .
