ASCII commands cannot be mixed in the binary
graphics file. If you want to print predefined objects
(such as bar codes or text) on the same label with
binary bitmapped graphics, you have four possible
approaches:
1. Program either the graphics or the ASCII
components in the background, and put the other
components in the foreground.
2. Use the !+ header line mode with
to overlay existing data with new data (typically,
you send the bitmap to the printer first, then use !+
to put the ASCII components over the bitmap).
mode to place graphics where you want
them, then use !+ to send ASCII components to the
printer.
4. Use the
command to send the graphics
to the printer as a BMP or PCX file, and then follow
it with an ASCII label format containing the
predefined objects.

Example
Here is the beginning of a typical foreground
graphic in ASCII form, hexadecimal form, and
binary. The segment shown covers the graphics
header and the beginning of the bitmap. Spaces
have been added to the ASCII and hexadecimal
forms for clarity. The printer will only accept the
binary form.
ASCII:
@ 100 100 1 0000000000...
Hex: 40 64 0064 1 000000000...
Binary:
