# Dot-Matrix Bit Graphics

A current ad for a book about dot-matrix printers states that 80% of the users only make use of about 20% of the features available to them. Whether this is an accurate estimate or not, it is likely that when we unpacked our new printer the most of us did not spend much time on the bit-graphics part of the manual, especially if it had lost something in the translation from an Oriental language.
