- 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...

2-COLOR PRINTING
FUNCTION
Specifies the printing in two colors: black and red.
FORMAT
<ESC>2Sa
a = Print color
0: Black
1: Red
Place after <ESC>A and <ESC>Z.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>2S1
<ESC>H001<ESC>V001
<ESC>XMRED
<ESC>Q0001
<ESC>Z
1. Designate start of data transmission
2. Designate two color print (red)
3. Designate test field:
Print Position: Vertical 100 dots, Horizonal 30 dots
Character Type: XM font
Character Pitch: 2 dots
4. Designate text data (content 12345)
5. Quantity of labels to print (0001 = 1 label)
6. Designate end of data transmission
OUTPUT
Print in two colors. This example prints in red.
NOTES
This command is valid within start of transmission and end of transmission and may be specified more
than once.
Is valid when specifying two-color print at switch of print mode <ESC>#.
