Rendering bitmap images
Bitmap images residing in the generator’s flash memory, on the PC card, or on the file
server can be rendered on a display by selecting the image through the front panel or the
command line interface. This section describes how to store and render bitmap images.
To render a bitmap image using the front panel:
1. Copy the bitmap image to the Image folder on either the file server or the generator’s
flash memory or PC card. See “ Copying files from a PC to a 882 ” on page 23.
Note: You can transfer either a single bitmap or an entire folder of bitmaps. It is
recommended that you save bitmaps in a directory on the PCcard because of file
storage limitations in the Flashmem.
2. Set the generator’s image path to the image folder on the desired medium. See “ Setting
the 882’s path ” on page 17.
3. If necessary, place the generator in Basic mode by pressing and holding the Tools key.
4. Press the Content key. A list of images appears on the generator’s display.
5. Press the soft key adjacent to the desired image to render the bitmap on the display.
To render a bitmap image using the command line interface:
1. Copy the bitmap image to the Image folder on either the file server or the generator’s
flash memory or PC card. See “ Copying files from a PC to a 882 ” on page 23.
Note: You can transfer either a single bitmap or an entire folder of bitmaps.
2. Establish a terminal session with the generator. See “ Establishing a terminal session
with the 882 ” on page 30.
3. Set the generator’s image path to the image folder on the desired medium. In the
command syntax, specify the medium as follows:
• Flash memory: tffs0
• PC card: card0
• File server: server_name (case sensitive without a forward slash in front, and with
a colon after the name)
Enter the following command for flash memory and PC card:
IMGP / medium /Library/Images
Enter the following command for file server:
IMGP server_name:
