- 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...

FUNCTION
Specifies when, and under what circumstances, the printer goes into an off-line state. When used

FORMAT
<ESC>@
Place anywhere between <ESC>A and <ESC>Z.
EXAMPLE

<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
This command does not result in printer output. The printer is placed in the Off-Line mode as soon as
the current print job is finished.
NOTES
When using this command and the print job specifies <ESC>Q10, all ten labels will print before the
printer goes off-line. Press the LINE key to return the printer to an on-line status.
