How to Download Graphics
Use PrintSet to download graphics to your printer. For help with PrintSet, see your
printer user manual.
PrintSet follows this process to download graphics to your printer:
1. PrintSet sends the <ESC>{_CLC:HCD} command to EZ Print.
2. EZ Print prompts the Host Configuration Daemon to interact with PrintSet.
3. ESC/P assigns the image name and ID to the downloadable image to create the
image alias file name.
4. PrintSet uploads the alias file from the printer.
5. PrintSet updates the alias file to the format, "ESCPIMG.ALS".
6. PrintSet sends the updated file to the printer.
7. The printer receives, interprets, and stores the updated file.
About the Image Alias File Name
The image alias file name describes the new image name that ESC/P interprets. The
image alias file is named "ESCPIMG.ALS" and is interpreted as:
<ID>x<NAME>xxxxx<IMAGE>xxxxxx
where:
<ID>x is a 1-byte name
<NAME>xxxxx is a 5-byte name
<IMAGE>xxxxxx is the image name
How to Download Fonts
With firmware version MR10.19.010053 or higher, users can directly download .FON
/.CPF font files from the printer web page, FTP, USB drive, PrintSet 5 version 5.8.1.5,
or some other method, such as commands. No converters are required for .FON font
files.
If the file is downloaded by FTP, copy the file to the \home\user\fonts folder.
Note: For Autosense/EZ Print language, you do not need to restart the printer after loading
the font files. If you are using FP/DP language, you will need to restart the printer.
(You will need to do this if you are printing EZ Print.)
Firmware version MR10.19.010053 or higher provides native support that converts
CPF/SFP/FON files to bitmap font (.bmf) format along with a file called FONTMAP,
which is used to map the fonts.
