- 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...

“i” Programming Reference
4-59 PN: 9001158B
FORMAT/FIELD, STORE
FUNCTION
To store a format field description in the memory card.
FORMAT
<ESC>YS,aa
aa = Format number to be stored (01 to 99)
bb = Field number to be stored (01 to 99)
cc...c = Field length to be stored (01 to 99)
Place immediately following the <ESC>CC Memory Area Select command.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>CC1
<ESC>YS,02
<ESC>V0200<ESC>H0200<ESC>XB1
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
There is no printer output as a result of this command. See <ESC>YR Format Recall command.
NOTES
When storing multiple formats, enter <ESC>A and <ESC>Z with one format.
Attempts to store using a predefined format number will result in an error and the targeted content will
be printed.
