Using Compressed Graphics

ESC Starts the command language.

<cmdg> Graphic command. Enter v.

<height> The number of dot lines in the following data

(entered as 8-bit data).

<width> The number of bytes per dot line (entered as 8-bit

data).

<counter> An indicator of how much data to process.

When <counter> is signed (and a positive number),

process the specified amount of data as with data

stream graphics. Otherwise, repeat the next byte

the specified number of times.

When <counter> is unsigned (and less than or

equal to 127), process the specified amount of

data as with data stream graphics. Otherwise,

repeat the next byte the specified number of times

(the specification being the difference between

counter and 256).

#data# The data in the graphic. 72 hex bytes, indicating

the dots to turn on or off. For example, if a

specified byte is FF, all the dots are on. If it is 01,

only one dot is on, and the other 7 are off.

NOTES: <counter> and <data> can repeat multiple times within one

command. For using Flash Memoroy Graphics, use the

graphic command above. However, <height> and <width> are

replaced by <low> and <high>. Do not use <counter>, but

make sure you still include the graphic’s #data#.

<low><high> The hex digits (listed backward) of a number

indicating how many lines to print. For example,

to print 10 lines, <low> is A, and <high> is 0.

#data# 72 hex bytes, indicating the dots to turn on or off.

For example, if a specified byte is FF, all the dots

are on. If it is 01, only one dot is on, and the

other 7 are off.

If you accidentally specify less than 72 bytes, the

printer does not print the graphic. If you specify

more than 72 bytes, a fatal error occurs.
