Printing Labels (DC-300 only) 79
7.2.4 Programming Logo Files
The DC-300 allows you to store up to four logos in memory that can be utilized on free format or standard labels.
Logos are stored as a pattern of dots on a grid of 128 horizontal dots by 64 vertical dots.
(Note that the standard label formats in the DC-300 have a print area for logos of only 37 dots by 30 dots so if you want to use
your logo on standard labels you’ll need to keep the size within those parameters.)
Preparing the Logo Design
In order to prepare to program the scale with a logo, you will first want to lay out the logo on a piece of graph
paper.
1. On a piece of graph paper, outline an area either 128 horizontal by 64 vertical squares or 37 horizontal by
30 vertical squares.You may want to mark intervals of 5 rows or columns along the axes to make it easier
to determine the starting and ending dots for programming.
2. Lay out your logo on the graph paper by filling in the necessary squares to make the design you want to
store (see the example below of a DIGI logo in 37 x 30 size).

Logo File Programming Display and Keys
The scale display will show the logo file number, the X or horizontal dot position, the Y or vertical row number.
Empty squares are shown by blanks while filled squares are indicated by zeroes as shown in the example below.
Figure 7-25. Logo File Number
The rows are programmed beginning with the bottom row and moving upward. Programming begins with the
leftmost square on each row and automatically moves to the next dot (Figure 7-26 below) until the end of the row
is reached at which time the cursor will move automatically to the leftmost square on the next row up
(Figure 7-26 below).
