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.
