3. Transfer the image into two bit map representations and then into hexadecimal or
binary format.
4. To store the custom designed character in memory using a hexadecimal data
stream, the command would be:
<ESC>A
<ESC>T1H3F0100038007C00FE01FF03FF87FFCFFFE07C007C007C007C007C007C007C007C0
<ESC>Z
Note: This should be a continuous data string without any CR or LF characters.
5. To recall the custom character from memory, send the following code to the
printer. Note that you can print other data as well. Also note how the character size
was expanded using the <ESC>L command.
<ESC>A
<ESC>L0505<ESC>H0150<ESC>V100<ESC>K1H903F
<ESC>L0505<ESC>H0600<ESC>V100<ESC>K1H903F
<ESC>L0303<ESC>H0125<ESC>V0250<ESC>MTHIS SIDE UP !
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
6. To store the custom designed character in memory using a binary data stream, the
command would be:
<ESC>A
<ESC>T1B3F 01
07 C0
H H
<ESC>Z
NOTE: Spaces are shown between hexidecimal values in the above example for clarity only and
are not included in the data string.
Note that the data stream is only half as long as the hexadecimal format. This is because
we can send the binary equivalent of "11111111" (represented above in its
hexidecimal value of FF
eight bit words to transmit the hexadecimal equivalent "F" and "F". To send binary
characters using BASIC, the expression "CHR (&HFF) will send the binary equivalent
of FF (i.e., 11111111).
