Store Graphics in the printer:

PJColor can store a graphic in the POSjet

To Store a graphic in the printer

1) Start PJColor
2) Under Settings, Select the POSjet
to.
3) Select the Resolution you would like to have the printer use to print the graphics. Low resolutions are faster,
high resolutions produce better graphics.
4) Select the communications port and protocol that is to be used to communicate to the printer.
5) Load the graphics Image you wish to print.
6) Adjust the image to produce the effect you would like. The lower graphic window displays an approximation
of the printed image.
7) When you are satisfied with the graphic, press the "Store in Printer" button. PJColor will attempt to interrogate
the printer and will display the graphics currently in the printer if any. (Note: If PJColor cannot communicate
with the printer, only the "Save to File" option will be allowed.)
8) Make sure there is enough room in the printer for the graphic.
9) Insert a name in the "Macro Name" box. Keep it simple, this name will be used later to print the graphic.
10) Record the graphic in the printer.

Print a stored graphic.

In the data stream to the printer enter "&%URName&" and the graphic will print in place of the "&%URName&"
data. The "Name" must be identical to the name entered earlier.

Generate a file to store graphics into a printer

To generate a file that will store a graphic into a printer, follow the same procedure to store a graphic in a printer up
through step 8. Then:
9) Insert a name in the "Macro Name" box. Keep it simple, this name will be used later to print the graphic
10) Press the "Save to File" button. This will allow you to select a file where the stored universal graphic
information is saved.
11) This file contains an "erase any previous graphic with the same name" command, "a save new graphic with this
name" command and the graphics information.
12) This file can then be sent to the printer and the graphic will be saved in the printer. Note: If the target printer
does not have enough room for the graphic information to be stored, the graphic will not be stored.

How universal graphics is done

The printer extends all the emulations to support two additional escape sequences and adds limited IPCL support.
IPCL (Ithaca Printer Control Language) is an ASCII method of sending printer commands to the printer. In Ithaca
PcOS emulation, IPCL command support is extensive. In other emulations, IPCL support is limited to the following
commands.
&%CR
&%LF
&%CLx
