- 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...

Unit 3: Code Quick Reference
“i” Programming Reference
3-7 PN: 9001158B
%a Rotate, Fixed Base Reference Point.
a = 0: Sets print to normal direction.
1: Sets print to 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
2: Sets print to 180 degrees rotated (upside down)
3: Sets print to 270 degrees counter-clockwise (90x CW).
PG EEPROM Setup. Sets the default printer configuration in EEPROM.
PMa Print Mode Selection. Selects desired backfeed operation.
a = 0: No backfeed, continuous operation
1: Tear-Off
PR Fixed Font Spacing. Returns the printer to fixed character spacing mode.
PS Proportional Font Spacing. Places the printer in the proportional character spacing mode.
Will not work with U Font.
Qaaaaaa Print Quantity. Specifies the total number of labels to print.
aaaaaa = Total quantity of labels to print for the job (000001-999999)
QS
System Priority. Priority setting to System / Command. This command is available only on
MB4i series.
a = 0 : Priority assigned to command
1 : Priority assigned to system setting
RD
CG Fonts. Specifies Agfa CGFont (only available on MB4i Series).
a (Font Type) = A (CG Times)
b (Style) = 00 Fixed pitch
c (Character width) = 004-999 in dots
or P02-P99 in points
d (Character height) = 004-999 in dots
or P02-P99
n (Data to print) = Data
RF Recall and Print of Font & Logo. Calls and prints font and logo downloaded with Label
Gallery’s “GalleryMemMaster”.
a = Font ID number (01 to 99)
b = Print digit (1 to 9999)
n = Print data
