- 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...

REPLACE DATA (PARTIAL EDIT)
FUNCTION
To replace a specified area of the previous label with new data. This command will cause the previous
label to print along with any changes specified within the current data stream.
FORMAT
<ESC>0 (<ESC>zero)
Must follow <ESC>A and precede all other print data
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0025<ESC>V0020<ESC>PR<ESC>XM1Company Name
<ESC>H0025<ESC>V0085<ESC>PR<ESC>XM1SATO
<ESC>H0025<ESC>V0150<ESC>PR<ESC>XL1SATO
<ESC>H0025<ESC>V0215<ESC>PR<ESC>XL1SATO
<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z
<ESC>A
<ESC>0<ESC>H0025<ESC>V0020<ESC>PR<ESC>XM1SATO
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
(4-8)
NOTES
Specify the exact same parameters for the image to be replaced as were specified in the original data
stream; including rotation, expansion, pitch, etc. This will ensure the new data will exactly replace the
old image. If the replacement data contains fewer characters than the old data, then the characters not
replaced will still be printed.
This command will not function if the power has been cycled off and back on since the last label was
printed.
Proportional Pitch text cannot be used with this command.
