Programmer' s Guide
When printing line graphics, the data path to the printer must be eight bits. Seven-bit serial protocols do not access
the extended characters. The extended characters require that the form be reverse fed. Consequently, printing line
graphics on the receipt may be less than acceptable.
APA Graphics
The printer is capable of all-points-addressable (APA) or horizontal graphics. Generating a graphic image by hand
is time consuming and tedious. It is recommended that a graphic package be used to create a graphic image. The
following procedure will help with the setup.
Creating an APA graphics file
1.
Generate the graphic image in the program of your choice. APA graphics only support monochrome images.
2.
Make sure the paper size chosen fits the printer (3 inches wide with 0.25-inch margins). If the paper size cannot
be set, print a portion of the page.
3.
Print the graphic to a file using a generic, IBM, graphic, 9-pin driver. The standard IBM resolutions are 240 x
216 dpi, 120 x 72 dpi, and 60 x 72 dpi. The POSjet
resolution with reasonable speed, use 120 x 72 dpi.
4.
Print the graphic image to a file.
5.
Edit the resulting file to remove any unwanted form control, and insert the POSjet
6.
Make the resulting file available to your application, so it can be sent to the printer when required.
