- 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...

DATA MATRIX CODE (ECC200)
FUNCTION
Specifies Data Matrix Code of 2D code.
FORMAT
<ESC>2D50aabbcccddd<ESC>DNmmmm,n...n
a = Cell width in dots (01 to 06)
b = Cell height in dots (01 to 16)
c = Quantity of cells per row (000, fixed)
d = Quantity of cell rows (000, fixed)
m = Data size in binary (1 to 3116)
n = Print data
7EH/00H: when printing 00H
7EH/7EH: when printing 7EH
Place anywhere after <ESC>V but before <ESC>Q.

NOTES
When the paramters defined for the data do not match the data being encoded, there will not be printed
output.
When print format is specified, leave a margin of 2mm or more on every side of the data matrix to be
read by the scanner.
