<image data>  (27)(89)n1n2.... <1Bh><59h>n1n2.... 



This command enables you to define and print a single line raster bit image on a single text line.   



n

 and 

n

 define the number of bytes that comprise the image. 



The image consists of 256*

 bytes of data, each byte representing a single vertical column of 4/30". 



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. 



Images are printed from left to right. 



Images are printed at an approximate horizontal resolution of 120 dots per inch and at an approximate 
vertical resolution of 72 dots per inch. 



You can only use this command in portrait orientation. 



The printer always prints as fast as possible, hence this command is the exact equivalent of the 

Esc L

command.
