Bitmapped File Graphic Support
It is possible to load a bitmap file into the printer and print it directly by command. The
standard bitmap two color and 16 color bitmap file formats are supported.
To use this feature, load a bitmap file into the printer using the file support commands
or the Windows® interface tool. These files can then be printed with the Print Bitmap
File command. It is also possible to print a bitmap file passed from the host as data.
