Does anyone know what a sixel might be?  The Xerox 3700 manual states
that after a command to draw a graphics window is delivered to the printer,  
a bitmap can be printed using a bitmap in "sixel" form.  The naive 
guess of six bits in a row seems to easy.

Also, has anyone printed bitmaps out on a Xerox 3700 printer and if so, what
might the command(s) be?

Thanks--Dan
