[Function]
Specifying the print of graphic.
[Format]
<G>abbbcccn～n
●Parameter
a [Data specification by HEX and BIN]
H: Hex data Divide 8 bits data into 4 bits and output it as hex code corresponding to ASCII.
B: Binary data Output 8 bits data as one font of data all at once.
b [Specification of crosswise graphic area per byte] = Valid range: Refer to the table below
c [Specification of lengthwise graphic area per byte] = Valid range: Refer to the table below
n [Graphic data]
[Coding Example 1] [H: HEX data] is specified for [Data specification by HEX and BIN]
<A>
<V>50<H>50
<G>H001001<46463831383138313831383138314646>16
<Q>1
<Z>
[Coding Example 2] [B: Binary data] is specified as Data specification by HEX and BIN]
[□] is printed with the below specification.
<A>
<V>50<H>50
<G>B001001<FF818181818181FF>16
<Q>1
<Z>
[Supplementary Explanation]
1. Specification of [B] has longer program description than that of specification [H]; however, transfer data length is 50
percent shorter. This could be advantage in data capacity.
2. Specification of Rotation <%> and Enlargement <L> are available.
3. <L> command should be placed just before <G> command.
4. When using rotation <%> and enlargement <L> commands at the same time, specify <%> command before <L>.
5. The crosswise maximum byte and lengthwise maximum byte are specified in the table below, however, it is possible
to specify up to 999 bytes to have compatibility with the old model.
The graphic data less than 2,937,600 bytes can be printed.
6. The calculation of graphic data size is [crosswise maximum byte x lengthwise maximum byte x 8].
