Graphics
A graphic field can be used to print a graphic image on a label. Before you can
use this field, you must download the graphic to the printer. Once the graphic is
downloaded, you can call it up and print it just like you could any other letter or
bar code image.
To get a graphic into a format that can be understood by the 4100, you must
send it as either a one bit per byte or six bit per byte bitmap image.
One Bit Per Byte
One bit per byte is the standard graphics format used for downloading to an
Intermec 8636 or 8646 printer. A one bit per byte bitmapped image is an
arrangement of 1's and 0's that can look similar to the example below but are
usually larger.

If you look closely at the bitmap file above, you can see that it is the outline of a
diamond with a line down the middle and the upper right corner blacked in.
You can create your own graphic by drawing it on graph paper, then converting
each of the squares to either a 1 or a 0, and typing it into a text file column by
column.
When you send the file to the printer, a character in the file represents either a
dot or a blank when the image is printed. The zeros are blanks and the ones are
dots.
