Appendix E— Using Direct Graphics Mode
IPL Programmer’s Reference Manual 243
Change Origin
Purpose: Tells the printer the X and Y coordinates of the next RLE data column.
Default: 0,0
Syntax: 0x21[x,y]
where x and y are the coordinates of the next data column. Values for x
and y range from 0 to 8191.
The change origin command tells the printer where to place the graphic on
the label. If you do not send the command, the printer uses the default
setting of 0,0.
You can use the command to place different sections of the RLE graphic in
different parts of the label.
Notes: It is not necessary to use this command for every column. Column-to-
column transitions are automatic following the end of line command.
The default origin of any direct graphic (0,0) is in the lower left corner
instead of in the upper left corner. The upper left corner is the label format
origin.
End of Bitmap
Purpose: Marks the end of RLE encoded data.
Syntax: 0x28
Notes: The printer parses subsequent characters as IPL commands.
On the final column of the RLE encoded data, an end of line command
does not need to precede the end of bitmap command.
End of Line
Purpose: Causes the printer to assign subsequent bitmap data to the next column.
Syntax: 0x22
Notes: The printer images the next data stream in the next column position,
incrementing the X position. This command causes an action similar in
function to a carriage return.
