- CUSTOM GRAPHICS EXAMPLE
- 1. Determine the matrix size for the graphic. It must be in 8 dot by 8 dot blocks. The example here has six blocks horizontally and six blocks vertically (48 x 48).
- 2. Lay out a grid and draw the image on the grid.
- 3. Transfer the image into a bit map representation and then into hexadecimal format:
- 4. Using the hexadecimal data, send the following code to print the graphic image as designed.
- 5. To send the data in binary format, the software must convert the data into binary format before transmitting it to the printer. Using the BASIC programming language for example, this is done by notation “CHR$ (&HC0)” which sends the hexidecima...

aaaa = Label height in dots (0 to Vmax)
bbbb = Label width in dots (0 to Hmax)
&R Form Overlay, Recall. Recalls a label image previously stored in expanded memory.
aa
= Storage number (00 to 99)
&S,aa,bbbb,cccc Form Overlay, Store. Stores a label image in Expanded Memory.
aa = Storage number (00 to 99)‘
bbbb = Horizontal size of window to be stored (50 to Hmax)
cccc = Vertical size of window to be stored (50 to Vmax)
A(space)Z Form Feed. Feeds a blank tag or label.
*a,bbb Clear Memory Card. Clears data stored on memory card.
a = Memory section to be cleared.

bbb = Storage location to clear (001 to 999)
@,nn...n Offline/Pause. Signals the printer to go offline after upon job completion.
nn...n = Applicable only on models with an LCD. Message to be displayed
(maximum 32 characters).
A3H-aaaa-Vbbbb Base Reference Point. Establishes a new base reference point position for the current
label. Units of measurement are dots.
- = Optional character.If included, will shift reference point in negative
direction.
aaaa = Horizontal reference point
bbbb = Vertical reference point
