The d command is used to download data files to the printer. It is used to download graphics, fonts,
databases and serial files.Two methods are available to download such data to the printer:
1st Method:
The procedure which we highly recommend, unless this requires that the data has to be prepared for
downloading.
2nd Method:
will transmit the data as it is, but it may occasionally misinterpret embedded ESC characters in the
data as a printer command. ( i.e. ESC t would be misinterpreted as memory reset).
When the 2nd method is used it is also not possible to send ESC requests during the download and it
cannot be used in a RS-485 network.
Syntax:
d t;name[SAVE] [B:± value] CR ESC. binary data ESC.
d t;name[SAVE] [B:± value] CR ESC: binary data ESCend-of-data
