Insert the hex values in syntax format 4 4 Creating Graphics Using the Run Length Encoding Method The following steps explain how to derive a run length character string from a bitmapped graphic Each square on the grid represents a dot A black square indicates the dot is ON and a white square indicates the dot is OFF Note For visual clarity the following example shows 1 to indicate when a square is ON and O to indicate when a square is OFF You do not have to convert your dots when using the run length method 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00111111 11111111 11111111 11110000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 11111111 11000000 00000000 00000000 00001111 11111000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00111110 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00001111 11000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000011 11000000 00000000 00111111 11111111 11111111 11110000 00000000 00011110 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 01111100 00111111 11111112 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11100001 11110000 00000000 00000000 00000001 10000011 411111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111110 00001100 00000000 00000000 00000001 10001112 11111111 1
20. Once you design your graphic image you are ready to define a graphic packet This packet generates the graphic image you use in a format Positioning the Graphic Image This section explains how to position the graphic image within a graphic packet header a field of a graphic packet or within a format Within the Graphic Packet Header When you are using RAM the row and column parameters in the graphic header are usually 0 0 because placement is controlled by the graphic field in your format When you are using temporary storage these parameters control the placement of the graphic image on the supply The area enclosed within the dotted lines represents the graphic image starting at 0 0 as defined in the graphic header If you want a fixed amount of white space around your graphic image use something other than 0 for row and or column The area enclosed within the dotted lines represents the graphic image starting at 0 0 with a fixed amount of white space 10 10 around the graphic image Within the Field In a bitmap constant text line or box field the row and column parameters control where an individual field or bitmapped row begins in relation to the coordinates defined in the graphic header The bottom of the triangle in this example represents the first field of the graphic packet starting at 10 0 Creating Graphics 4 7 Within a Format When you define the graphic field within your format the row an

This method enables you to reset only the parameters you want to change Commas act as placeholders for unchanged parameters The optional entry method reduces file size and increases the speed at which files are sent to the printer With Packets Leave parameters blank that you do not need to change when sending online configuration packets You can group fields with similar parameters For example pipe Oy V 290 00 dl L DP UOS OK 15 T dyrer I r The first text field sets all the parameters for that field The second text field s number of characters and column location changes from what was defined in the first field In the third text field only the column location is changed This method can be used on bar code and constant text fields as well Note You should understand the basics of each field before using this method Printer Optimization 8 3 After you modify any fields or parameters with the optional entry method resend the format batch or configuration packet to the printer With Bar Codes Be careful when rotating or placing a UPC EAN bar code with human readable characters because the bottom reference point is at the bottom of the bars not at the bottom of the human readable characters With Fields Data that remains the same for each label should be in a constant text field Data that varies for each label should be in a text field Check for trailing spaces in text or constant text fields if you re

FORMAT BUFFER IMAGE BUFFER RECEIVE BUFFER TRANSMIT BUFFER SCALABLE FONTS BUFFER Buffer Allocation Considerations Keep these items in mind when allocating memory 9 8 8 Do not allocate more memory than what is available Free memory from one buffer before you add it to another buffer Reallocate all the buffers if you need to reallocate any buffer Send all buffer re allocations in one packet The printer evaluates each individual buffer allocation separately If one buffer allocation is invalid the entire packet is invalid For example if you send 1 M R N 20 M T N 60 the printer ignores the entire packet because the second line allocates 6K for the transmit buffer and 4K is the maximum for that buffer If you define a buffer size that exceeds the maximum value an error occurs However no information is lost 4 Whenever the printer accepts a memory configuration packet it takes effect immediately causing a printer reset Any information contained in the buffers is lost Resend your formats batches graphics or fonts to the printer If you remap your image buffer make sure the length and width specified in your format header are not too large for the current image buffer In other words if you remap for a 2 x 6 inch label you cannot print a 2 x 8 inch label without receiving an error until you change your format header or increase your image buffer Configuring the Printe
