STANDARD PRINTER COMMANDS

GRAPHIC

Function Initializes the printer to receive graphics data, and

positions the received graphic on a label. This

ASCII command allows you to send standard PCX

or BMP format graphics directly from a file.

NOTE: GRAPHIC must be the last command in its label

format. Do not follow it with an END command. The

printer waits for graphics data and a following printable

label file after receiving this command.

Explicit Form

GRAPHIC type x y

Implicit Form

G type x y

Parameters

type

Graphic file type. Allowable types

are PCX and BMP.

x y

Starting position of the printed

graphic; normally the upper-left

corner unless changed by a JUSTIFY

command.

Comments After the printer receives the GRAPHIC command it

waits for the arrival of graphics data. The data is

then mapped in the printer's memory. To print the

graphic, send another label format using a !+

header line to the printer.

The printer only prints bi-level (black and white)

graphics. Do not try to print color or grayscale

graphics. Also, graphics are printed full scale, with

each image dot corresponding to one printed dot.

The printer will not scale graphics to fit.
