DOWNLOADING LOGO SUPPLEMENT

NOTE: 22/24/46 does not support any of the flash related functions described below.

Note: please read the Downloading File Supplement first.

Logos can originate in one of two manners. They can be permanently stored in the printer's memory

before leaving the factory or they can be downloaded by the customer directly. The former is accessed by use

of the <LO#> command, the latter, by the <LD#> command. If the printer is in permanent file mode then all

logos downloaded by the user will be automatically stored in Flash. They will still be available even after the

printer is turned off.

RESIDENT FACTORY LOGOS - To print a factory logo, you could send the following:

<SP60,170><LO1>

The above command will print the first factory loaded logo locating it at row/column position 60,170. NOTE:

Factory logos are a customer specified option and are not present on most printers.

DOWNLOADABLE LOGOS - The printer is capable of receiving downloaded logo data and recalling it

throughout the day. The download logo data must be in either the FGL image format described below or the

BMP, PCX format described in the BMP & PCX supplement.

FGL IMAGE FORMAT -

This data is comprised mostly of FGL graphics commands. The downloaded data must be sent in strict

accordance with the following rules.

The logo should be drawn such that the left-topmost corner is considered to be position 0,0 (see figure on next

page). To enter download mode, send the following:

ESC

<RC0,0>

<G#>byte 1,byte 2, ... byte #

<RCx,y> or CR

<G#>byte 1,byte 2, ... byte #

ESC

All download logo data is bracketed by ESC characters. Following the ESC, the printer expects to receive a

row/column command (preferably <RC0,0>). The <G#> tells the printer how many bytes of logo data are to

follow. The following # bytes should be sent without any commas. The commas are used solely in the interest

of clarity in this example.

The above routine should be repeated for each line of logo data. For the remaining lines, a CR should be used

in place of the row/column command if the data is to start at the beginning of the next line. If you use carriage

returns, the logo can be expanded simply by using the <HW#,#> command. Each carriage return will move the

next line down 8 dots. If you use row/column commands to position each line of logo data, you can't expand the

logo.

To load additional logos, repeat the above procedure for each logo. The logos will automatically be assigned

the next consecutive number unless the <ID#> command is used. Note: the ID# should not exceed 511 when

using logos. The standard 46 printer will accept a maximum of 512KB (256KB - FGL44, 128KB - FGL42) of

downloadable data. NOTE: The printer's total capacity of downloadable space is for both logos and fonts.

Additional Flash memory is an option available on both the 42/44/46 (non-Lemur) printers.
