 bytes of data,  each byte representing a single vertical column of 

4/30". 



Images are printed left to right. 



Images are printed at an approximate horizontal resolution of 240 dots per inch and at an approximate 
vertical resolution of 72 dots per inch. 



Each byte represents a vertical column of eight dots, the most significant bit representing the dot at the 
top.  Simply set a bit to 1 if you want a dot to appear in that position, and to 0 if you want white space 
to appear.
