explanation (1) when the graphic data “0” or “1” is selected, the graphic data is drawn by overwriting the image buffer.
(2) when the graphic data “4” or “5” is selected, the graphic data is drawn by carrying out or between the graphic data and the data in the image buffer.
[nibble mode]
(1) the graphic data is separated into four dot units and sent in the following order (1 →132). (high order digit: “3”)
(2) the graphic data is 30h to 3fh.
(3) the minimum unit in the x direction is 8 dots. dots with no data are transmitted as data 0.
(4) the graphic data count must be as follows:
graphic data count = {(no. of graphic width dots + 7)/8} × no. of graphic height dots × 2
* the value in the brackets is rounded down to the nearest whole number.
[hex. mode]
(1) the graphic data is separated into eight dot units and sent in the following order (1 →66).
(2) the data of graphic data is 00h to ffh.
(3) the minimum unit in the x direction is 8 dots. dots with no data are transmitted as data 0.
(4) the graphic data count must be as follows:
graphic data count = {(no. of graphic width dots + 7)/8} × no. of graphic height dots
* the value in the brackets is rounded down to the nearest whole number.
[when topix compression mode is selected:]
* the graphic width for only the smaller value of either the designated value or the max. buffer size (512 kb) is drawn. the minimum unit of the data drawing is 8 dots (1 byte).
if the graphic width is set to 3 dots, it will be reset to 8 dots (1 byte).
examples
(1) the print origin of coordinates must be set so that result of drawing the graphic data will be within the effective print area set by the label size set command ([esc] d).
(2) the number of graphic width dots and number of graphic height dots must also be set so that the result of drawing the graphic data will be within the effective print area set by the label size set command ([esc] d) in the same manner as above.
(3) both width and height are 8 dots/mm.
(4) the actual result of drawing may deviate within à0.5 mm in the x direction with respect to the designated print origin of x-coordinate.
to draw the received graphic data at high speed, the data is directly developed into the image buffer without applying correction to each bit with respect to the designated x-coordinate. consequently, an error of up to 4 bits occurs.
(5) the graphic data overwrites the image buffer.
