Creating User-Defined Graphics

You can create user-defined graphics (user-defined characters, or UDCs) in
two ways: one bit per byte or six bits per byte. To use the UDC in a format,
you must first define a graphic field using the IPL command Un[,name]. For
help using the Un[,name] (User-Defined Character Field, Create or Edit)
command, see Chapter 6, "IPL Commands."

Creating One Bit Per Byte User-Defined Graphics

One bit per byte is the standard graphic format used for downloading to an
Intermec 8636/8646 printer. You can download a one bit per byte graphic to
the 3440 printer when it is in 86XX Emulation mode. A one bit per byte
bitmap image is an arrangement of ones and zeros that looks similar to the
following example.

If you look closely at the bitmap pattern above, you can see that it is the
outline of a diamond with a line down the middle, and the upper right
corner blacked in.
