Page Mode on the receipt
Normally the printer will print data as it is sent. In Page Mode, the data to be
printed is composed on a page before printing. This composition process gives
the application developer the ability to mix text, graphics and barcodes in
different orientations and locations. Once the page composition process is
completed, the page is printed. See the Page Mode commands in this section.

(Downloadable Bit Image)
The A758 can process User-defined Characters and Logos simultaneously. These
items are stored in FLASH or SRAM, depending on the application developer’s
preferences.
