Creating and Loading a Splash Screen

To generate a custom splash screen, use a bitmap editor.
1. Create a color bitmap with dimensions of BX x BY where:
• BX is less than or equal to 240 pixels
• BY is less than or equal to 320 pixels
Note: For best quality use a relatively high resolution color image (for
example, 16-bit Color). Lower resolution images also work.
2. Save the file as a 24-bit bitmap.
3. Use TCM to convert the bitmap image file to a Hex file (see
page 9-8).

Loading the Splash Screen via TCM

To load the bitmap:
1. Click TCM.exe in the TCM directory.
2. Connect the terminal to the host computer and invoke IPL to prepare the terminal
to receive the splash screen download.
3. In TCM, select File - Load Terminal.
4. Select your splash screen Hex file to begin downloading to the terminal.
5. Close TCM.
