Using Temporary Storage

You should use temporary storage when the graphic image is used only in one
format or your graphic image is very large. Graphic data in temporary storage
is held in the image buffer until the graphic is printed and then it is cleared
from memory.
Temporary graphics are also cleared from memory when you
send a new batch or update batch. You can use the same graphic image
multiple times on a format. Send the graphic image to the printer after the
format to which it applies.

NOTE: If a graphic is stored in temporary storage, do not place a graphic field

in the format as described in "Placing the Graphic in a Format." This
will cause an error. Instead, position the graphic image by using the
row and column locations in the Graphic Packet Header.

Image memory (temporary storage) will accept a graphic packet with the
dimensions listed in the table below.

NOTE: You cannot create a graphic image larger than the length of your

supply without reallocating memory. Refer to your printer’s Packet
Reference Manual
for information on reallocating memory.
