Figure 6-4. Design sketch and sum of nozzle values
Write the assigned values of the nozzles next to your design
and then total the values for each column of dots. These totals are
the values that will be sent to the printer as graphics data to print
the design.
To print the example design using the normal density option,
the complete command (including the graphics data) would be:
Command
Data
<ESC> "*" 0 14 0
3 7 31 63 126 124 112 96 92 66 33 25 5 3
And the results would look like this:
Here is a short BASIC program that will print this figure:
10 LPRINT CHR$(27) “*” CHR$(0) CHR$(14) CHR$(0);
20 FOR X=1 TO 14
30
READ N
40
LPRINT CHR$(N);
50 NEXT X
60 DATA 3,7,31,63,126,124,112
70 DATA 96,92,66,33,25,5,3
Printing Multiple Lines of 8-Dot Graphics
You could enlarge this design in order to print multiple lines of
8-dot graphics. In the next example, you are going to print three
lines of 8-dot graphics. At the same time, you will triple the
width to 42 columns.
