Store Graphics

Description Use this command to store PCX graphics files in memory.

Syntax GM”NAME”p1 <carriage return>

“DATA”

Parameters This table identifies the parameters for this format:

Parameters	Details
“NAME” = Graphic name	This is the grahpic name that will be used when retrieving the
	stored graphic.
	• The name may be up to 8 characters long.
	• Graphic names stored by the printer are case sensitive and
	will be stored exactly as entered with the GM command
	line; i.e. “LOGO1”, “logo1” and “LoGo1” are three
	different graphics when stored into the printer or when
	retrieved by the user.
	• Deleting a single graphic requires that the
	GK”FORMNAME” command string be issued twice for
	each form deleted. Some label generation programs re-
	issue graphics (graphic delete and store) every time a label
	is printed which will reduce flash memory life.
p1 = File size in bytes	Use the DOS DIR command to determine the exact file size.
“DATA” =Graphic data	Graphic data in 1-bit (black & white) PCX (binary data)
	format file.
	• A graphic will not store if sufficient memory is not
	allocated to graphic memory. See the M command for
	details on adjusting and configuring memory to store
	graphics (forms and soft fonts).
	• Verify the proper storage of the graphic with the GI
	command.
