Placing the Graphic in a Format
To include a graphic within a format:
1. Design the graphic image as shown in “Designing Bitmapped Images.”
2. If you are using RAM, place a graphic field in the format file to reference the graphic. See
the following section, “Defining the Graphic Field,
” for more information.
Note: If you are using temporary storage, you do not need a graphic field in your format to
reference the graphic image.
3. Download all the necessary packets (check digit, format, etc.).
4. Send the graphic file to the printer, if you have not already done so. See “Creating a
Graphic Packet” for more information.
Defining the Graphic Field
The graphic field in a format references the graphic image by the graphID in the graphic
header. This field is required only if the graphic will be stored in RAM.
Syntax G,graphID,row,col,mode,rotation |
G1. G Graphic Field.
G2. graphID Unique number from 1 to 999 to identify the graphic image.
G3. row Distance between the bottomof the print area on the supply to the bottom of the
graphic image. Measured in selected units.
English 0 – 1200
Metric 0 – 3045
Dots 0 – 2436
The row specified in the constant text, bitmap, line, or box field is added to the row
value above to determine the actual position in the format.
G4. column Distance between the left edge of the print area on the supply and the left edge of
the graphic. Measured in selected units. The column specified in the constant text,
bitmap, line, or box field is added to the col value above to determine the actual
position in the format.
English 0 – 189
Metric 0 – 479
Dots 0 – 383
G5. mode Imaging mode. Enter 0.
G6. rotation The orientation of the graphic on the supply. Enter 0.
Example G,57,0,0,0,0 |
Defines a graphic field that is identified by the number 57. The image begins at 0,0. The
imaging mode is 0 and there is no rotation.
