PAXAR PCL APPENDIX C – Volatile Logos •••• 75
~VVV999 500, 600, 600RFID, 700
This command allows graphics to be transmitted to the printer and kept for printing
until the printer is powered off. This is referred to as volatile or temporary graphics.
The graphic will exist in the printer’s memory until either the printer is powered off or
the ~VD command is received.
The graphic received can be either a BMP or a PCX. The 999 is replaced by a unique
number that is used to reference the volatile logo in the batch.
This command can be sent either before the ~XA and after the ~XZ or before the ~ZD
and after the ~ZZ but not between those commands. The graphic must be downloaded
before it can be used for printing. It must be downloaded before the batch in which it is
referenced. If a graphic with the graphic number specified is not found, the label will
print with no logo.
To be able to print this graphic, a field type defining the graphic needs to be present in
the format. Using the option V in the ~GT command will indicate the graphic is in the
volatile queue. In the batch, the data for the graphic field will be the graphic number
assigned to the graphic from the ~V command. For an example, a format to print a
temporary graphic would look like:
~VVV42~
~XA~XP2250~XW3000~XMH1125~XFL
~FG01~FW1000~FP1500~GTV
~XZ
~ZD00~D42~ZZ0010~
~VD 500, 600, 600RFID, 700
This command deletes all volatile graphics that have previously been downloaded to the
printer since the printer has been powered on. Any batches that have been received by
the printer prior to receiving this command will use the volatile logos in place when
those batches were received (see the example in the text above).
