- 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...

FWaabbVcccHdddd Box. Prints a box. For values aa, bbbb, cc, and dddd, see instructions for horizontal and
vertical lines. Units of measurement are dots.
aa = Width of horizontal side
bb = Width of vertical side
cccc = Length of vertical side
dddd = Length of horizontal side
Gabbbccc(data) Custom Graphics. Allows the creation and printing of graphic images using a dot-
addressable matrix.

GMaaaaa BMP File. Prints BMP file to the internal graphics image memory.
aaaaa = Quantity of bytes to download (max DOS file size is 32K).
GRccc Graphic, Recall. Recalls for printing the graphic image stored by the GI command.
ccc = Storage number (001 to 999)
GTaaa,bbbbb, nn. . . n BMP File, Store. Stores BMP files in Expanded Memory.
aaa = Storage area number (001 to 999)
bbbbb = Size of BMP file in bytes
nn....n = Data
Haaaa Horizontal Position. Specifies a fieldís horizontal location across the width of the label from
the current base reference point. The units of measurement are dots.
IDaa Job ID Store. Stores the Job ID number.
aa = Job ID number assigned (01 to 99)
