Appendix C: Custom Characters and Graphics

4.Using the hexadecimal data, send the following code to print the graphic image as designed.

Note: Spaces shown in the hexidecimal listing above are for emphasis only. Spaces must not be encoded within the graphic portion of the data stream to the printer. Also, CR and LF characters to separate the lines must not be encoded in the data stream.

5.To send the data in binary format, the software must convert the data into binary format before transmitting it to the printer. Using the BASIC programming language for example, this is done by notation “CHR$ (&HC0)” which sends the hexidecimal value of “C0” as binary data (11000000). The BASIC program listing for sending this graphic to the printer (using the RS232 port) in binary format is:

CLS

OPEN “COM2:9600,N,8,1,CS,DS” FOR OUTPUT AS #1

E$ = CHR$(27)
