OUTLINE
Executes 8 dot bit image print determined by "
n1." The total
number of bit image data bytes in one line is equal to
n1. Printing
is uni-directional. The printer ignores any data bytes over the
specified amount allowed in one line. When the bit image print is
finished the printer automatically returns to the character mode.
