The TransAct
®
EPIC 630 Printer firmware supports the ability to print graphics in all
emulations.
The intent of Universal Graphic support is to allow the TransAct
®
EPIC 630 graphics
capability to be used in existing applications that do not support graphics.
There are several ways to add graphics to an existing application. The easiest for you
will depend on how much control you have over your application. At a minimum, you
should be able to change the name printed on the top of a receipt. With the PJColor
9
program you can store a named graphic into the printer an print it by changing the text
name to match the stored graphic. For example, if your receipt has a name like "Joe's
Market", you can save a graphic in the printer named "Joe's" and then change the "Joe's
Market" to "&%URJoe's&" When the TransAct
®
EPIC 630 finds "&%URJoe's&", it is
replaced with the stored graphic.
Some applications allow a graphic file to be sent to the printer. In this case PJColor can
generate the graphic file and then your application can send it to the printer. NOTE:
PJColor may be used to generate color graphics for the EPIC 630.
PJColor also has a feature that will allow you to generate a file that will define the
graphic to be stored into the printer. You can then use this file to setup any number of
printers with the same graphic.
If you are using a windows print driver (other than the Transact TransAct
®
EPIC 630
driver) to support your printer, you will not be able to send color graphics to the printer
through the print driver. The print driver will not support universal graphics. You can
however, store the graphic in the printer and use IPCL commands to print the stored
graphic. (You must select a printer resident font for this to work.)
The following is a short summary and how to description of these features.
#
PJColor can generate a print file that may be sent to the printer in any emulation and
print graphics.
To generate a print file.
1) Start PJColor
2) Under Settings, Select the TransAct
®
EPIC 630 printer. Then select the emulation
that machines the printer.
3) Select the resolution you would like to have the printer use to print the graphics. Low
resolutions are faster, high resolutions produce better graphics.

The PJColor program has been enhanced to provide several ways to create Logos and
Coupons and make them available to the TransAct
®
EPIC 630 printer.
