Each byte of data sent defines each column of the graphic to be printed. The first byte defines the column in the left 

margin, with the following bytes defining the columns to the right, for a total of up to 200 columns in the print line. 

The print line is printed unidirectionally. Graphics and text may be printed on the same line.

Use three Vertical Tab commands (0B) to overlap printing by half a dot with the next line. Each vertical tab advances 

the paper by 0.02083 inches, with three tabs advancing the paper by 0.062 inches.

Note:  This DH printer command provides compatibility with earlier DH model printers. It is generally not used for new 

applications. See the Graphics command (1E) for the more generally used command. 

These commands enable the printer to communicate its status to the host computer.
The commands are listed numerically by hexadecimal code.
