Placing the Image in a Format

The message structure below places a graphic field in a format.

You can have up to 100 graphic images. The graphic record can be placed in a format data stream anywhere following the format header record.

Syntax

G##, ROW, COLUMN p

NOTE: Graphics are counted as fields, just like text or bar code fields. When determining the number of fields in your format, count each graphic as a separate field.

If graphic fields overlap with other fields in the data stream, the last field in the data stream will dominate.

Field	Contents
G##	Must begin with the letter "G" for a graphic
	field.
	The G is followed by one or two digits for
	the graphic number. Enter the number
	you assigned to the graphic in the graphic
	data stream.
	Values:	0-99
ROW	One to four digits to define the row
	location of the graphic on the supply. This

is the distance from the the guide edge zero point at the bottom of the supply and the bottom of the field.

The zero point is 1.5 mm or 0.060 inches from the bottom of the supply. The bottom of the supply is the edge that exits the printer first.
