- 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...

MEMORY STORE/RECALL COMMANDS
FORM OVERLAY, STORE
FUNCTION
To store fixed print contents to the memory card.
FORMAT
<ESC>&S,aa,bbbb,cccc
aa = Store number (01 to 99)
bbbb = Horizontal size of window (50 to H max)
cccc = Vertical size of window (50 to V max)
Place immediately following the <ESC>CC Memory Area Select command.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>CC1
<ESC>&S,01
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
There is not a printer output as a result of this command.
NOTES
The label image must be divided from other label images by the <ESC>A and <ESC>Z bounding
commands.
The parameters of “bbbb” and “cccc” may be omitted. By specifying them, the label image can be
moved by using the <ESC>V and <ESC>H position commands when recalling the label image. If the
repositioned label image exceeds beyond the printable area, the image wil be truncated. If an
<ESC>A1 Media Size command has been sent to the printer, the maximum size that can be stored is
the size of the label defined in the command.
A label image cannot be stored in a location that already contains data. Graphics, PCX and BMP files
can be stored but their combined size cannot exceed memory.
The forms stored by this command are cleared by the <ESC>*R command.
Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 23 for additional information.
