14. IMAGES
1. Images vs Images Files
2. Standard Images
There is a similar distinction between “Images” and “Image
Files”as with “Fonts” and “Font Files” (see chapter 12):
• “Image” is a generic term for all kinds of printable pictures, e.g.
symbols, logotypes or other illustrations, in the internal bitmap
format of Intermec Fingerprint.
• “Image Files” are files in various bitmap formats that can be
converted to “Images” in the internal bitmap format of Intermec
Fingerprint. Images files can be stored in the printer's memory,
but cannot be used for printing before they have been converted
to “Images”.
As standard, the Intermec Fingerprint EPROMs fitted in the first
pair of sockets on the CPU board contain the GLOBE.1 image for
training purposes and a few other images used for printing test
labels. Other images may be included in the Configuration EPROMs
depending on application program or according to the customers
request. Such images can converted from images files in .PCX or
.PCC format by the Toolbox Configuration program and can be
“burned” into the configuration EPROMs.
Image files in .PCX format can be downloaded to the printer's RAM
memory using the Kermit protocol and then converted to Intermec's
internal image format by means of the instruction RUN "pcx2bmp"
(see chapter 6.5) .
Image files in .PCX format can also be both downloaded and
converted to images by means of the IMAGE LOAD statement.
The program Toolbox Image can be used to convert and download
image files in .PCC or .PCX format to images and store them in the
printer's RAM memory.
Image files in Intel hex formats, or formats according to Intermec
Fingerprint file transfer protocols UBI00, UBI01, UBI02, UBI03,
or UBI10, can be downloaded to the printer's RAM memory using
the instructions STORE (obsolete), STORE IMAGE, STORE
INPUT and STORE OFF, e.g.:
10 STORE OFF
20 INPUT "Name:", N$
30 INPUT "Width:", W%
40 INPUT "Height:", H%
50 INPUT "Protocol:", P$
60 STORE IMAGE N$, W%, H%, P$
70 STORE INPUT 100
80 STORE OFF
RUN
