• Management of data using key codes.
• Deletion of and redefinition of single items of data.
• Color coding of defined data.
• Definition of data in both raster and column formats.
• Confirmation of available capacity in domain.
• Continuous processing possible (without a software reset when a
command has been processed).
• The following three types of graphics functions are included:
• NV graphics [Functions 48, 51, 64, 65, 66, 67 and 69]
Stores data in non-volatile memory.
Defined data is retained when power is turned off.
There is a limit on the number of times that non-volatile memory can
be written to.
• Download graphics [Functions 52, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, and 85]
Stores data in volatile memory (RAM).
Defined data is lost when the ESC @ command is executed, the system
is reset, or power is turned off.
• Graphics [Functions 50 and 112]
Stores data in the print buffer.
When standard mode is selected, prints data using Function 50 and
clears the print buffer.
When page mode is selected, prints data using FF and ESC FF and clears
the print buffer after FF is executed.
Notes:
• The functions of this command are determined by the fn setting. Actual
command operation varies according to function.
• The NV graphics and download graphics data is managed using key
codes.
• Expressed as kc1 and kc2, the key codes are used to identify data
groups.
• The key codes have a 2-byte configuration and can be specified using
the full range of character codes (0x32 to 0x7E).
• The data referred to here is image data specified using d1 through dk
of Function 67.
• The printer automatically adds control information when it stores the
data. The image data domain is used as the control information.
Control information formats and data values vary according to function.
• Note that it is not possible to create definitions for both NV graphics
data (this command) and NV bit image data (FS q). NV bit image data
definitions are deleted when this command is used.
• Note that it is not possible to create definitions for both download
graphics data (this command) and download bit image data (GS ✻).
Download bit image data definitions are deleted when this command is
used.
• Always execute Function 50 after executing graphics Function 112
when the standard mode is selected.
