Image a Line (IML)<br />
The IML record contains the characters for a line of print. It is the same as<br />
the SFI record except that a font and ILS are not specified. The current<br />
font and ILS are used. The current font can be a regular (single-byte) font<br />
or a super (double-byte) font. If there are no text characters in the record,<br />
a blank line is printed.<br />
If the multi-part line mode is enabled by an MPL record, the cursor is left<br />
at the end of the text printed by this record and is not positioned for the<br />
next line.<br />
1-2 2 Record Length The length of this record, in binary, including the record length<br />
field. For example, hex 00 2F specifies a record length of 47 bytes.<br />
3 1 Cyclic Record Count A binary cyclic record count using modulo 256. Each record in the<br />
job is counted, starting with hex 01 for the first record. The 255th<br />
record is hex FF and the 256th record is hex 00. This count is used<br />
to verify record sequence.<br />
4 1 Control Code A binary code that identifies the record type. A value of hex 0C<br />
identifies the IML record.<br />
5-n n Print Line A character string representing a line of text. The character coding<br />
must agree with the coding of characters in the font. There is no<br />
end-of-line character.<br />
If the font is a super font, there must be an even number of bytes in<br />
this field.<br />
