Esc B - Print Bitmap (Bmp) Image - Ithaca Epic 950 Integration Manual

Command Reference
ESC B – Print Bitmap (BMP) Image
Description
This command will print a bitmap (Microsoft BMP file format) image.
To use this command, send the ESC (1Bh) character followed by the complete BMP file.
Note that the first character of a bitmap file is always "B", therefore ESC B is recognized
by the Epic 950 as the code to print a bitmap file.
The printer decodes the BMP file header and will print the image data after checking
important parameters, such as width, height and number of colors.
Note: Only monochrome or 4-bit color BMP file images are supported.
Other BMP file formats are ignored.
Further information about the Microsoft BMP bitmap file format is available on-line at
