Download Graphics PCX File
The PCX Down Load procedure is a separate activity that is done
before or after the label design process.
Connect your EasyCoder 71 printer to your PC via the parallel
Centronics interface. If you prefer to use the serial communication
channel for downloading graphic files, you must redirect the output
from the PC using the DOS Mode command before starting the
downloading process.
Download any .PCX graphic file that you may want to use in this
or future forms. The procedure is:
Make sure there is a sufficient amount of free memory in the
graphics memory (check by means of a U command).
Prepare the EasyCoder 71 to receive the graphic by the following
command:
GM"name"a
↵
"name" is the name of .PCX graphic file without the .PCX
extension.
a is the size of the .PCX file size in bytes. To determine the size, view
the .PCX file in its directory and use the listed file size.
If you use Windows, you must go to DOS before downloading the
graphic file (use MS-DOS Prompt). Assuming that you have a .PCX
file named UBI.PCX in your current directory, copy the .PCX file
to the printer using the DOS COPY command.
Follow the syntax:
COPY UBI.PCX PRN /b
(downloads file to default printer PRN)
or...
COPY UBI.PCX LPT1: /b
(downloads file to the printer connected to port LPT1)
Note:
This graphic can be used for multiple label forms. The maximum
size of the .PCX file is 64 kbytes.
