GRAPHIC

Function

Initializes the printer to receive graphics data, and

positions the received graphic on a label. This
ASCII command allows you to send standard PCX

or BMP format graphics directly from a file.

NOTE: GRAPHIC must be the last command in its label
format. Do not follow it with an

END

command. The

printer waits for graphics data and a following printable
label file after receiving this command.

Explicit Form

GRAPHIC type x y

Implicit Form

G type x y

Parameters

type

Graphic file type. Allowable types

are PCX and BMP.

x y

Starting position of the printed

graphic; normally the upper-left
corner unless changed by a JUSTIFY

command.

Comments

After the printer receives the GRAPHIC command it
waits for the arrival of graphics data. The data is

then mapped in the printer's memory. To print the
graphic, send another label format using a !+

header line to the printer.

The printer only prints monochrome (black and

white) graphics. Do not try to print color or

grayscale graphics. Also, graphics are printed full
scale, with each image dot corresponding to one

printed dot. The printer will not scale graphics to
fit.
