8. Custom Characters And Graphics

Programming Manual

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:

E$ = CHR$(27)

OPEN "lpt1:" FOR RANDOM AS #1

PRINT #1,

E$; "A";

PRINT #1,

E$; "V0100"; E$; "H0100"; E$; "GB006006";

PRINT #1,

CHR$(&H3F); CHR$(&HFF); CHR$(&HFF); CHR$(&HFF);

CHR$(&HFF); CHR$(&HFC);

PRINT #1,

CHR$(&H7F); CHR$(&HFF); CHR$(&HFF); CHR$(&HFF);

CHR$(&HFF); CHR$(&HFE);

PRINT #1,

CHR$(&HE0); CHR$(&H60); CHR$(&H0); CHR$(&H0);

CHR$(&H6);

CHR$(&H7);

PRINT #1,

CHR$(&HC0); CHR$(&H60); CHR$(&H0); CHR$(&H0);

CHR$(&H6);

CHR$(&H3);

PRINT #1,
