Appendix B IBM ProPrinter X24 and IBM ProPrinter II Commands

ESC Y n1 n2 ...

Double Resolution BIM Hexadecimal code: 1B 59 n1 n2 ..

Sets double resolution graphics (120 dots per inch), at normal speed, for a data string the
length of which is defined by parameters n1 and n2.

The capacity of the line is 960 (1632) data items, but the adjacent horizontal dots
cannot be printed.

ESC Z n1 n2

Quadruple Resolution BIM Hexadecimal code: 1B 5A n1 n2..

Sets quadruple resolution graphics (240 dots per inch), at half speed with respect to
ESC K n1 n2, for a data string the length of which is defined by parameters n1 and n2.

The capacity of the line is 1920 (3264) data items, but the horizontal adjacent dots
cannot be printed.

ESC [ g n1 n2 m ...

High Resolution Graphics Hexadecimal code: 1B 5B 67 n1 n2 m ..

Selects the graphic printing resolution (BIM with 8 or 24 needles).

Parameters n1 and n2 give the amount of graphic data plus 1 (calculation as for other
BIM commands).

Parameter m defines the type of graphic print resolution according to the following table:

m Horizontal Resolution Needles used Notes

0 60 8 same as ESC K
1 120 8 same as ESC L
2 120 8 same as ESC Y
3 240 8 same as ESC Z
8 60 24 ESC K, high resolution
9 120 24 ESC L, high resolution
11 180 24 Triple density high resolution
12 360 24 Sextuple density high resolution

In high resolution graphics mode (24-needles) each vertical string of dots is controlled by
three bytes.

Note

: If parameter m has the value 2, 3 or 12, the second of horizontal adjacent dots

will not be printed.
