410 Operators Manual62
6.2 FORMAT OF LOGO FILES
This information is made available to companies that may need to
convert other graphic formats to the OGO format.
The file sent to the 410 printer should appear as follows, whereas:
h = Hex representation
X = Indeterminate data
'X' = Parenthesis signal ASCII data
db = Single byte hex width
OPENING PARAMETERS:
If creating a graphic image file in four rotations, send:
'^A0^D67'0dh0ah'+'
If creating graphic image #1 file, send:
'^A1^D67'0dh0ah'+'
If creating graphic image #2 file, send:
'^A2^D67'0dh0ah'+'
The following header and data information should always follow the above:
-----------------------------------------------------
db XXh ;Pixels high
db XXh ;Pixels wide
db 00h ;Always 00h
db XXh ;Bytes wide
db 20h ;Always 20h
db 21h ;Always 21h
db 20h ;Always 20h
db XXh ;Pixels high
db XXh ;Pixels wide
db 7688 DUP (?) ;The decoded graphic data, where a bit set defines a fired dot. 7688 bytes is equal to a maximum 248 x 248 resolution.
-------------------------------------------------------
'-' ;Signifies end of graphic data
The data between the dashed lines should be decoded before being sent to the printer. This
decoding is a simplified version of ASCII hex:
EXAMPLE: Data byte = 9Bh
Step 1: Create two bytes with leading zero
09h, 0Bh
Step 2: OR the resulting bytes with 30h
39h, 3Bh
Step 3: Put 39h, 3Bh in file to be sent down to printer
