CHAPTER 7 IBM PROPRINTER - 19 

 

Images are printed at an approximate horizontal resolution of 120 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.

Images are printed 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. 

 

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. 

 

This printer always prints as fast as possible,  hence this command is the exact equivalent of the Esc L 
command.
