Procedure for color horizontal graphics:
There are many ways to generate graphics for the POSjet
®
1500 printer. The easiest is to use the PJColor program.
(See the next section.) The other way is to use the Ithaca windows driver and capture the output to a file.
To generate an image using the windows print driver:
1. Generate the graphic image in the program of your choice. Use colors consistent with the two colors installed
in the printer.
2. Make sure the paper size you pick fits the printer (3 inches wide with 0.25-inch margins).
3. The POSjet
®
15000 print driver should be installed (even if the printer is not connected).
4. Set up the print driver to print the graphic to a file using whatever resolution is required.
5. Print the graphic image to a file.
6. Later, when you want to print the graphic, simply copy the file to the printer with your application.
7. You may also copy the graphic to the graphic save buffer and then request the printer to retrieve and print it
without re-sending the graphic data.
Optionally, process the color image with the Ithaca
®
color image processor

in the PJColor program. The program
can print the image or generate a printable file.

As with all graphics, the data path to the printer must be eight bits. Seven-bit serial protocols do not work.
