Input Image Data (STX I)

This command precedes the download of image data from the host to the printer.

The data that immediately follows the command string will be image data. If

Immediate Commands have been enabled and if any of the 8-bit input formats are

to be used, it is necessary to disable the immediate level command interpreter by

executing a SOH D command before issuing this command. To print an image,

select font type Y, (see ‘Generating Label Formats’). Data sent to this field is

also used as the name of the defined graphic image.
