range = 1 to 59 for an impact logo.

In the receipt station, 1 = 8 dots = 1 mm.

In the document station, 6 = 48 dots = 1 inch.

h

One-eighth the number of dots in the vertical direction, (height = 8
× h).

range = 1 to 255 for a thermal logo.

range = 1 to 5 for an impact logo.

data

The data to form the graphics image.

The number of data bytes for the image is (h × w) × 8. See
“Download graphics (logo) commands” on page 115 for an example
of the data.

Purpose:

To print all-points-addressable print messages.

Remarks:

The margin will be ignored if this causes the logo to overrun the line length.

These messages can be positioned on the page using the commands for
setting positions.

Not supported in document landscape mode.

To print graphics on the printers when the data is greater:
1. Hold the buffer.
2. Send all the data.
3. Release the buffer.

Note: When the buffer is held, care must be taken to avoid exceeding the

capacity of the printer memory (see Table 23).

The left margin will be rounded down to a factor of 8. For example, if the
margin = 74, the logo starts at 72.

Retries are not attempted on print errors.

Valid at the beginning of the line only.

When printing in the document station, a line feed command must be sent
to advance the paper past the last line of the logo.

If the parameter d, w, or h is out of the defined range for this command, the
command is discarded and the remaining data is processed as print data.

This command will increment status byte 6.

If this message is printed on a regular basis, consider downloading it to
save communication time. (See “Download graphics (logo) commands” on
page 115.)

The data buffer can be used for signature capture.
