When you are ready to print a graphics pattern, send the redefined command, followed by the graphics data. Graphics Resolution Command (IBM) ML390 Turbo, ML391 Turbo Function Select Graphics Resolution/ Print ASCII ESC [ g n1 n2 m [data] ML590, ML591 Dec 27 93 103 n1 n2 m [data] Hex 1B 5D 67 n1 n2 m [data] This command sets the graphics resolution and prints the graphic data. Parameters n1 n2 Range 0 to 255. These parameters specify the number of dot columns according to the following formula: dot columns = n1 + (n2 * 256) +1 Parameter m This parameter specifies the horizontal resolution of the graphics according to the following table. 64 Chapter 7: Graphics Commands for 24-Pin Printers Table 41: IBM ESC [ g Command -- Horizontal Graphics Resolution for m Values (24-Pin Printers) Value of m 0 1 2 3 8 9 11 12 Resolution (dpi) 60 120 120 240 60 120 180 360 Pins 8 8 8 8 24 24 24 24 Notes Same as ESC K Same as ESC L Same as ESC Y Same as ESC Z High resolution for ESC K High resolution for ESC L Select Graphics Aspect Ratio Command (IBM) ML390 Turbo, ML391 Turbo Function Set graphics aspect ratio ML590, ML591 ASCII ESC n Pn Dec 27 110 Pn Hex 1B 6E Pn This command sets the vertical-to-horizontal ratio of graphics printed using the ESC K, ESC L, ESC Y, and ESC Z graphics commands.

Chapter 7: Graphics Commands for 24-Pin Printers 65 Parameters Ln and Hn Parameters Ln and Hn are used to designate the number of bytes to follow in the subsequent parameters, where Number of Bytes = Ln + (Hn x 256) Ln and Hn can have any value from 0 to 255 decimal. Generally, Ln is set to 1 and Hn is set to 0. Parameter Pn Parameter Pn sets the graphics mode. Note: To cancel the graphics mode, enter the ESC @ command.

Table 42: Epson ESC . Command -- Valid Range of Pm Values for Pv Values Pv Value 10 20 Valid Pm Range 0 to 48 0 to 24 Note: If Pm value is set to 0, graphics will not print. Parameters Ln and Hn Parameters Ln and Hn are used to designate the number of horizontal dots to be printed, where No. of dots = Ln + (Hn x256) For fewer than 256 dots, substitute the number of dots for Ln and set Hn = 0. For more than 256 dots, divide the number of dots by 256 and assign the whole number result to Hn, then assign the remainder to Ln. The maximum number of dots allowed depends on the value of Ph and the width of the printer carriage as follows: Table 43: Epson ESC . If the value you wish to assign to the left margin is 99 or less, use zero for the first digit. Right Margin Parameters n1 n2 n3 n4 Parameters n1 n2 n3 n4 represent a four-digit ASCII number for the value of the location for the right margin. If the value you wish to assign is less than four digits, use zeros for the first digit(s). The right margin must be at least 60 units greater than the left margin. If no left margin has been set, the minimum value for the right margin is 60 units. You must set the right margin before sending any data for the line on which it is to take effect. The Maximum Margin Values table below lists the widest allowable margins. Table 48: ML ESC % C and ESC % R Commands -- Maximum Margin Values Model ML320 Std. , ML320 Turbo, ML520 ML321 Std. , ML321 Turbo, ML521 Left Margin n Value 0899 0999 Right Margin n Value 0960 1632 For example, suppose you want to set one-inch margins on a standard 8-1/2" page. The left margin will be 120/120" from the leftmost position, so the command to set it is: LPRINT CHR$(27);"%C";"120" The right margin is 7-1/2", or 900/120" from the leftmost position, so the command to set it is: LPRINT CHR$(27);"%R";"0900" 72 Chapter 8: Horizontal Control Commands Horizontal Tab Commands Execute Horizontal Tab Command (IBM/E/ML) ML320 E/I, ML321 E/I ML320 Std. , ML321 Std.

Each time you send the tab character (HT), the printhead moves eight columns to the right before printing the next character. Set Horizontal Tab Command (IBM/E) ML320 E/I, ML321 E/I Function Set Horizontal Tab ML320 Turbo, ML321 Turbo ASCII ESC D n1 n2 . . . nk 00 This command lets you set horizontal tab stops at specific columns on the page. As with margins, the actual position of the stops depends on the pitch you're using, and won't change if you switch to a different character width.
