command, it will search for a .bmp file. If there are two files with the same
root name, the .bgp file will be processed.
[ESC] [FS] S Save Bitmap File Print
ASCII [ESC] [FS] S <File Name><0>
Hexadecimal 1BH 1CH 53H <File Name><0>
Decimal <27> <28><83> ><File Name><0>
IPCL None
EPOS None
Description The [ESC][FS] S accepts a file name and saves the previously defined
bitmap file in the RAM file system to the Flash file system. If the file already exists, the
existing file will be erased.
Note: The [ESC][FS] S command erases the RAM file so the [ESC][FS] p
will no longer print the saved image.
Note: This command followed by a zero length file name will flush the
stored graphic image.

User Store (Graphic Save)

The EPIC 3000 Printer maintains a 16K (16384 bytes) section of flash memory and up to
192K of extended flash memory to save user information. The information can be either
macros or user-defined characters. These groups of data are indexed by name, and may
be called up at any time after they are stored. See the sections on Macros and User-
defined Characters for definitions of these functions.
To allow the host application to maintain these groups of data, a series of user store
maintenance commands are available. As referenced earlier in this manual, the user can
define a limited number of custom characters and define a macro. These
character/macro definitions can also be saved in user store. However, only one
character definition and one macro can be active at any time. One macro and one user-
defined character definition can be flagged to load and run at startup. If a flag is set, the
printer will automatically process the macro and/or load the user-defined character set at
initialization.
Because user store is intended to be loaded only a few times and then printed as part of
normal operation, the programmer must take some care during the definition phase.
The programmer must assume the responsibility to assure the 16K buffer size is not
exceeded. User store can save macros and user-defined character sets.
When the basic user store is full, it can be moved to extended user store. Individual
items in the extended user store can not be erased. The entire extended user store must
be erased all at once. You may place two items in user store with the same name and
the last defined item will be used.
