GM - Store Graphics In Memory
Purpose: This command is used to store PCX graphic files in Flash
memory.
Syntax: GM“name”p
1
“DATA”
.
Remarks: The GM command saves the graphics in the Flash memory, so it
is not lost at power off. Use it for graphics that are used
frequently and do not change, such as the logo of your company.
Compare with GW command. In a DOS system, the "DATA"
portion can be sent to the printer via the parallel port using the
DOS COPY command.
Example:
Assume you have a PCX file named LOGO.PCX in your current
directory. Use a text editor to create a text file called for example
STOREIT.TXT and store it in the same directory as the .PCX
file.

To store the image in the default printer, at the the DOS prompt
type:
COPY STOREIT.TXT PRN
COPY LOGO.PCX PRN .b

graphic (maximum of 8 characters). The printer is
