Description
The [ESC][FS] p command prints a bitmap image in the temporary buffer.
Where Scale 0 = one to one.
1 = twice the width
2 = Twice the height
3 = Twice the height and width.
The intent of this command is to allow a bitmap file to be loaded into the EPIC 3000 and
printed scaled up to 2 to 1. Use the [ESC] [FS] <Bitmap file data> command to load the
bitmap image and the [ESC][FS] p to print it.
Note:
The temporary buffer is also used for various other commands. If
the data in the buffer is not a bitmap graphic, it won’t be printed by this
command.

Description
The [ESC][FS] P command followed by a value that is not ‘B’ selects a
scale, retrieves a graphic file named in the File Name field and prints it at the selected
scale. This graphic file must previously have been defined and saved by the [ESC][FS]
command and the [ESC][FS]S command or by writing a bitmap file to the file system with
file system commands.
Where Scale 0 = one to one.
1 = twice the width
2 = Twice the height
3 = Twice the height and width.
Note:
The [ESC][FS] P command looks for graphic files defined by the
[ESC][FS] S command first. If the EPIC 3000 cannot find a .bgp
