Using Temporary Storage
You can store graphics up to 1536 rows long with up to 768
dots in each row and refer to them by the graphic ID number.
The printer holds graphic data in temporary storage until you
download a new temporary graphic or you use a different
format. You can continue to download batch information
without risk to the graphic as long as the batches use the
current format.
NOTE: If you store a graphic in temporary storage, do not
place a graphic field definition in the format (as shown
in Chapter 4, "Placing the Graphic in a Format"). This
will cause an error.
To determine if you have enough room to store the graphic
image in temporary storage:
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:
L * W * 4.5
where
L
is the length and
W
is the width in inches.
For example, if the graphic is .75 inches tall and .6 inches
wide, it would use 2.025K of temporary storage.
