Graphics

Graphics are symbols, logos, or other artwork supplied from an outside source, such as a computer.
These graphics must be bitmap files (*.bmp) and can only be black and white. The BMP
automatically resize the graphic, but it is important to keep the graphic size approximate to the printed
output (about 2-inch x 2-inch). The imported graphic file size cannot exceed 40KB.

Import Graphics

Graphics are added to the BMP
File menu if an external memory device is attached.
To import graphics to the printer:
1. Download a graphic from the computer to a USB drive.
2. Plug the USB drive containing the graphic into the printer.
3. Press FN and File.
4. Tap Import.
5. Select Graphics to choose the graphic to import and press Enter.
Graphic files (.bmp) are stored in a specific folder used by the Graphics function. This folder is
unavailable to the user and therefore, when importing a graphic, the destination screen does not
display. Unlike Symbols, imported graphics are not categorized. However, the most recently used
graphic displays first in the window.
For a more comprehensive discussion of importing files, refer to
on page 63.

Add a Graphic

1. Position the cursor at the point where you want the graphic to display.

OR
Tap the Header or Status Bar, then tap Graphics.
The graphics grid displays the most recently used graphic first.
3. Select the desired graphic and press Enter or simply double tap the graphic.
Note: The graphic displays at the same size as the font.
