Printing graphic on a serial printer

lond

Hi!

I have build a acceleration meter and logger and I have got hold on a serial printer with batterybackup.

I can print normal text, but the printer should print graphics to, butt I can't get it to work.

I want to print my values in a graf with the printer. Can anyone help me?!

Get the manual for the printer. It will usually tell you the "escape codes" you need to send for graphics if they are at all possible.

The littel of manual I got is telling me that if I use command ESC K m n it's sets singel density gaphics mode, but then?

The printer is a Kyosha Kyoline and i can't find the whole manual.

And then how do i convert my data to graphic?

Here are some links that might help;

Take a look at the emulation modes...

Here is the manufacturers website;

They would have the info you are seeking.

I guess your best bet at this point is to try and contact the factory here:

I have been able to print som very simpel graphics on the printer now! [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Can anyone help me to convert my data, so I can print it from the stamp µP.

The data is saved as a Word-sized in a i2c-memory and goes from -13.5g to +13.5g.

How do I convert data that are fomated like this:

8000h FFFFh 0000h 7FFFh
<

---

-0.01 0.00

---

>

to this:

0 256 512
or
0 320 640

Then I can print my data like a graph, one row at the time.
