ASCII commands cannot be mixed in the binary

graphics file. If you want to print predefined objects
(such as bar codes or text) on the same label with

binary bitmapped graphics, you have four possible
approaches:

1. Program either the graphics or the ASCII
components in the background, and put the other

components in the foreground.

2. Use the !+ header line mode with

to overlay existing data with new data (typically,

you send the bitmap to the printer first, then use !+
to put the ASCII components over the bitmap).

mode to place graphics where you want

them, then use !+ to send ASCII components to the

printer.

4. Use the

command to send the graphics

to the printer as a BMP or PCX file, and then follow

it with an ASCII label format containing the
predefined objects.
