Graphics
These commands are used to enter and print graphics data and are described in order of their
hexadecimal codes.
Download BMP logo
ASCII: ESC (+*.BMP le)
Hexadecimal: 1B (+*.BMP le)
Decimal: 27 66 77 (+*.BMP le)
Value: Maximum width = 576
(640 for 8.5 mm paper)
Maximum height = 512
Enters a downloaded BMP logo into RAM or ash.
The downloaded BMP logo can be printed by using the print downloaded bit image (1D 2F m) command.
To downloaded BMP le to save it as a logo, send the hexadecimal code 1B followed by the whole BMP le.
The printer decodes the BMP le header and will save the image data after checking important parameters, such as
width, height, and the number of colors (only monochrome images are accepted).
BMPs and bit images are denable for the receipt station. However, there is no longer an automatic erasure whenever
the user downloads a character set (as happened previously) as well as in the case where the current logo was never
set > 0, (the automatic erasure if user ash memory had lled up with inactive logo 0 denitions upon next power
cycle). Warnings about the eect of running out of dened logo space during a download apply (i.e. the command is
ignored). The application is required to manage user data space, downloaded font space, and logo space.
After downloading a logo to the printer, wait 100 ms to allow the printer time to write the logo to ash.
The downloaded BMP le can be printed by using the print downloaded bit image (1D 2F m) command.
Exceptions
This command is valid only for the receipt station. This command is valid only for monochrome logos.
