CHAPTER 6: LOGOS
The Microcom Corporation model 410 printer is capable of storing two graphic images at 0 and
180 degree rotations, or one graphic image in four (0 ,90, 180, and 270 degree) rotations. You
may either use the Microcom Corporation "pcx2410" software to create an OGO file from a
downsized PCX of PCC file, or use your own software to format a graphics file into a form that
the printer can understand.
The only limitation in graphic design is the 248 X 248 pixel resolution due to memory restraints.
Though this resolution is sufficient for most applications, Microcom Corporation has 16bit DOS
PC software available that will automatically down-size large PCX and PCC files. This software
package is available from Microcom Corporation at:

Remember: Use the X and Y format multiplier features to increase the size of your logo past the
248 by 248 window.
GOOD IDEA: Create your own software to manipulate graphic files into the OGO format.
BETTER IDEA: Use the "OGO" software to turn your PCX file into the OGO format.
BEST IDEA: Use the WYSIWYG on-screen label design package to turn any size PCX file into
the OGO format.
REQUIRED FOR THE LOGO OPTION:
1: Extra 32K RAM chip
2: LDS ROM revision 3.0 or higher
3: Optional:
A) Battery-backed RAM socket for retention of graphic files during power down.
B) Microcom Corporation "pcx2410" software to turn PCX files into OGO files.
