Storing Graphic Images
When you have mapped your graphic image, determine how
you want to store it. You have two options:
• RAM
• Temporary Storage
Using RAM
You can store small graphics less than approximately 1/2 inch
by 1/2 inch in printer RAM and reference them by the graphic
ID number.
The printer has 57K of RAM available for storing downloaded
data. Downloaded data can be in the form of formats, batches,
check digits, or graphics. To determine if you have enough
room to store the graphic image in RAM:
1. Measure the image’s length and width in inches.
2. Use the following formula to determine the size, in
kilobytes, of your graphic image:
(9 * W + 2.7) * L
where
L
is the length and
W
is the width in inches.
For example, if it is .25 inches wide and .4 inches tall, it
would use 1.98K of RAM.
If the size of the graphic image is greater than the amount of
available memory in RAM, you must send the graphic image to
temporary storage. Use the T option in parameter 4 (device) in
the Graphics Header.
