	For bitmaps, I am inclined to use the impress opcode BITMAP.
The downside is, you can only position the bitmap to within 32 pixels,
but on the upside, you can get the printer to magnify it 1, 2, or 4 times.
For 808 * 1024 images, for example, I just invoke magnification of 2.
Note, however, that if you put the origin at the lower left hand corner
of the page (by moving the pen there and executing SET-HV-SYSTEM(3 3 4))
you will find that you have to specify the scan lines from the bottom
up instead of the top down.  The same is true if you SET-HV-SYSTEM(0 3 5)
to get a landscape HV system with the origin in the "lower left."
