6.3.2 Printing the Graphic file
Once the graphics file has been created, it may be sent to the printer to be stored and
printer later. To print the graphic, you would send the printer a format that uses a TCI or 8
for RAM graphics or a TCI of 7 for Flash Graphics with the CGN point to the memory slot of
the saved graphic. When printing graphics in your format, the format line must reference a
period (".") in order to properly print the graphic.
Please not that a Graphic is nothing more than a 1-character font so they would share the
same flash structure. Make sure that you verify that you desired memory slot is available by
issuing a ^D119 command and verifying that the memory slot is available. The printer does
not override a previously stored file so if you try to save a graphic to an occupied memory
slot, the stored item may become corrupted and not print properly. You would need to first
clear that memory location before saving.
Please see the example below:
^A100^D140 <CR>
Send the converted Graphic file to the printer; Jet.mic using the file above.
Now send a format to the printer that recalls memory slot 100.
^D57 <CR>
1,832,609,,25,7,2,1,264,0,0 <CR>
1,200,100,1,7,100<CR> <---------TCI of 7 for flash memory and slot 100 from above example
^D56 <CR>
^D2 <CR>
.<CR> <------------------------- "." (Period) in the format to represent the graphic to be printed

6.4 Graphic Download Methods
The printer supports both compressed and uncompressed graphic downloads. The
compressed format shortens the download time by reducing the number of bytes sent to the
