Graphics

Using graphics, the printer can produce lines, boxes, polygons, and circles. This function is selected
by entering an X in field b. The values entered in the data field determine the sizes and shapes of
the objects to be drawn. Forms can be created using shaded boxes, complex logos, or even a simple
diagonal line without the need to download a graphics file to the printer. The following sub-
sections describe how to generate each kind of graphic.

Lines and Boxes

Lines and boxes are drawn by values that determine column and row starting position, length,
width, and wall thickness of the line or box (see Appendix K). Depending on the printer’s mode, all
measurements are interpreted as inches/100 or millimeters/10 (see <STX>m). The data field jj…j
is used to describe the line or box dimensions.
