How Images are Printed
Printed images on Monarch printers are formed by a system of
dots, as shown below.
NOTE: You need to create the graphic image upside down. It
will print right side up.
Each square on the grid represents a dot on the printhead. You
create a graphic image by blackening dots in a specific pattern.
The example above shows how black and white dots form the
letter A.
This process is referred to as turning dots "ON" or "OFF." A
black dot is "ON." A sequence of binary numbers, called a bit
pattern or bitmap, determines what dots are on and off. The
numbers "0" and "1" are used for this purpose. The number "1"
turns a dot on and "0" turns a dot off.
NOTE: Do not exceed 50% coverage per square inch.
