[comp.periphs.printers] Canon BJ-10E

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but does anyone know how to program the Canon BJ-10E
printer in high-resolution graphics (360x360) mode?  What I need are the
escape sequences and their interpretation, since the manual provided doesn't
say a whole lot.

In particular:

1) What should the line height be?  What escape sequence should I use to
   set it?
2) How many vertical dots can be written at a time, and in what order do
   the bytes appear?  If I can write more than 8 bits at a time, is the 
   first byte per column the top or the bottom?  I have a 9-pin printer 
   but it prefers to print graphics 8 bits at a time, so I'm not sure how 
   to extend that.

E-mail or posting is fine.  I can summarize if requested.

Thanks!
