5. Using Graphics

There are two stages to printing a graphic:

• Create the data stream for the graphic image

• Place the image into a format.

To print a format with a graphic image, transmit data to the

printer in this order:

1. Graphic data stream to define the graphic image

2. Format data stream that references the graphic image

3. Batch data to print the format.

Defining Graphic Image Data

Graphic images are created by a series of dots printed in a

specific pattern. This pattern results from a process of turning

dots "ON" or "OFF" on the printhead.

We will use the terms "black dots" to describe a dot that is ON,

and "white dots" for a dot that is OFF.

This section describes how to build a data stream to create

this pattern with your printer.
