d - download data (pictures, fonts etc...)
We recommend to use monochrome graphics only! The resolution should not be higher than the
printer´s printhead resolution.
Example:
Syntax:
cab Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG
name = Filename to be downloaded with a maximum length of 8-digits.
This filename will be recalled on later programming.
[SAVE] = This optional parameter is used for downloading to the printer´s
memory card.
(The memory card commands (M ... explain more possibilities, -
please see there for more details)
The [SAVE] option copies the file from the printers memory to the
memory card.
B: ± value = Sets the brightness of dithering on graphics. Valid values
are ± 20.
B:+5 makes the picture 5 steps darker.
ESC.<graphics data> ESC
= 1st Method for downloading data. Data format is binary, where the ESC
characters (ASCII 27 or HEX 1B) have to be replaced first through a double ESC
(ESCESC) to avoid unexpected reactions of the printer.
ESC commands, (requests etc.) can be used during the download of this data.
cab offers the tool: DOWNLOAD.EXE (downloadable at http://www.cabgmbh.com)
to convert existing files.
d BMP;CABLOGO CR ESC. binary data ESC.
Downloads the graphics: cablogo.BMP to the printer
ESC: <graphicsdata> ESCend-of-data
= 2nd Method for downloading data. Data format is binary, starting with ESC: and
followed by ESCend-of-data (ASCII 27 or HEX 1B) followed by ASCII text string
< end-of-data >.
With this method it is allowed that the data stream contains ESC sequences in the
data stream until the ESCendofdata is received.
