Placing the Image in a Format
The message structure below places a graphic field in a format.
You can have up to 100 graphic images. The graphic record can
be placed in a format data stream anywhere following the format
header record.
Graphics are counted as fields, just like text or bar code fields.
When determining the number of fields in your format, count each
graphic as a separate field.
Syntax
G##, ROW, COLUMN
p
If graphic fields overlap with other fields in the data stream, the
last field in the data stream will dominate.
Field Contents

Must begin with the letter ’G’ for a graphic field.
The G is followed by one or two digits for the graphic number.

data stream.

the supply. This is the distance from the the guide edge zero

This value is measured in tenths of millimeters (TOMMS) and
must be less than the maximum length of the supply.
