Save graphics buffer as logo (ColorPOS®)

ASCII	GS 0x91 n
Hexadecimal	1D 91 n
Decimal	29 145 n

This command will save all the raster data that is in the working graphics buffer (where surround graphics are formed) as a logo with index value n. This logo can then be used repeatedly for inserting different text. See the background logo print command.





		!

There is one working graphics buffer in the printer; its size (and that of the saved logo) is of maximum print width size, and of sufficient length to store the largest of the surround graphic styles defined since the last buffer “freeze” event. This command is ignored if the graphics buffer is not in a “merge pending” state. The graphics buffer state will be set to “frozen” by this command.

Background logo print mode (ColorPOS®)

ASCII	GS 0x92 n
Hexadecimal	1D 92 n
Decimal	29 146 n

This command will place into the graphics buffer the logo designated by n. As soon as there is a print action command (such as text output) the graphics buffer will be merged (logical OR process) with print output.

This command sets the graphics buffer state to “merge pending”, functioning and performing the save as in the form and merge real time surround graphics command.
