Image files in .PCX format can be downloaded to "RAM:",
"CARD1:" or "CARD2:" using the IMAGE LOAD command.
Before the transfer can be performed, the printer must be set up for
two way communication
IMAGE LOAD"<image name>",<file size>,"<flag>"
<file name>
<file size>
<flag>
Upon receiving this command, the printer waits for the specified
number of bytes to be received with a 25 second timeout.
We recommend that you add the extension .1 or .2 to the image
name, so that you can tell which directions the image is suited for
before you print it out, i.e.:
IMAGE.1 is suited for directions across the paper web, i.e. DIR 1
& DIR3.
IMAGE.2 is suited for directions along the paper web, i.e. DIR 2
& DIR4.
