Using Flash Memory Graphics

You can also use a graphic stored in flash memory. You are limited to one
graphic stored in memory at a time. Saving a graphic to flash memory when
there is already one there overwrites the previous one.

1. Remove the printer’s battery and wait several seconds.

2. Re-insert the battery and enter Download Mode immediately. It takes two

commands to enter Download Mode:

ESC DL

Have the host wait to send the second command until the printer

responds to the first command by returning a ‘?‘ character.

ESC LG0

3. Send the graphic one line at a time using the ESC-V command as described

in “Using Data Stream Graphics.”

ESC V 1 0
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

4. Save the graphic to flash memory using the following command:

ESC LG FF hex

When the printer receives the command, it returns a ‘D‘ character, and
begins the save. When the save is complete, the printer sends a ‘!’
character, and then an ‘X’ character every 500 milliseconds.

5. Remove the printer’s battery and wait several seconds before replacing it.

6. Print the flash memory graphic with the following command:

ESC Lg0
