GRAPHIC
Function
Initializes the printer to receive graphics data, and
positions the received graphic on a label. This
ASCII command allows you to send standard PCX
or BMP format graphics directly from a file.
NOTE: GRAPHIC must be the last command in its label
format. Do not follow it with an
command. The
printer waits for graphics data and a following printable
label file after receiving this command.
Explicit Form
GRAPHIC type x y
Implicit Form
G type x y
Parameters
type
Graphic file type. Allowable types
are PCX and BMP.
x y
Starting position of the printed
graphic; normally the upper-left
corner unless changed by a JUSTIFY
command.
Comments
After the printer receives the GRAPHIC command it
waits for the arrival of graphics data. The data is
then mapped in the printer's memory. To print the
graphic, send another label format using a !+
header line to the printer.
The printer only prints monochrome (black and
white) graphics. Do not try to print color or
grayscale graphics. Also, graphics are printed full
scale, with each image dot corresponding to one
printed dot. The printer will not scale graphics to
fit.
