- 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...

NOTES
The code size to be printed will not change based print data size.
When print parameters and print data do not match, printing will not occur.
When specifying Modes 4 or 6, the print data quantity must be set to 12 or more. When set to 11 or
less, maxi code cannot be scanner read.
For UPS specific formatting, refer to the “UPS Guide To Barcoding” document.
