[Notes]
1. The data is transmitted in binary (8bit/1font data). Actual size of BMP file is the value to parameter "a".
2. BMP file consists of the header part (the first 62 byte) and compressed graphic data.
3. If the total number of bytes of a BMP file is not consistent with actual send data, it may result in an operation failure.
4. The total number of bytes is displayed in the property of the file.
5. BMP file can be used only in black/white mode. A BMP file in color mode will result in a command error and no printing.
The command does not support compressed type of the BMP file. Make sure that file extension is BMP before printing.
6. Rotation<%>, Expansion<L> can be used in combination with this command.
7. Expansion command <L> shall be specified just before command<GM>.
