Easy print is used for downloading fonts and graphics. It is best to use the Windows
Configuration Program or the OPDI Suite for downloading, rather than attempt to write the code
yourself. Other Application Notes describe this process in detail
Easy Print is used to set configuration values into the printer. More detailed information is given
You can use Easy Print mode to design custom receipts, tickets, or reports with borders,
lines, stored graphics, logos, bar codes, and text. For example, you can create a receipt with
your company logo at the top, an identifying bar code in the middle, and a signature line at
the bottom. Easy Print mode also allows you to use stored graphics, thus increasing your
print speed.
You can also use Easy Print mode to create images that are missing variable data which can
be inserted when the image prints. For example, if a graphic is used multiple times on a
receipt, ticket, or report, use Easy Print mode to store the graphic in Flash memory,
minimizing the communication time between the printer and the host computer and
increasing your print speed. Depending on the size of the format and the amount of memory
available in your microFlash printer (1M or 4M), up to 100 different formats can be stored in
internal memory. Only variable data is then sent from the handheld computer to the printer.
