Rendering bitmap images
Bitmap images residing in the generator’s flash memory, on the PC card, or on the file
server can be rendered on a display by selecting the image through the front panel or the
command line interface. This section describes how to store and render bitmap images.
To render a bitmap image using the front panel:
1. Copy the bitmap image to the Image folder on either the file server or the generator’s
flash memory or PC card. See “Copying files from a PC to a 882” on page 23.
Note: You can transfer either a single bitmap or an entire folder of bitmaps. It is
recommended that you save bitmaps in a directory on the PCcard because of file
storage limitations in the Flashmem.
2. Set the generator’s image path to the image folder on the desired medium. See “Setting
the 882’s path” on page 17.
3. If necessary, place the generator in Basic mode by pressing and holding the Tools key.
4. Press the Content key. A list of images appears on the generator’s display.
5. Press the soft key adjacent to the desired image to render the bitmap on the display.
To render a bitmap image using the command line interface:
1. Copy the bitmap image to the Image folder on either the file server or the generator’s
flash memory or PC card. See “Copying files from a PC to a 882” on page 23.
Note: You can transfer either a single bitmap or an entire folder of bitmaps.
2. Establish a terminal session with the generator. See “Establishing a terminal session
with the 882” on page 30.
3. Set the generator’s image path to the image folder on the desired medium. In the
command syntax, specify the medium as follows:
• Flash memory: tffs0
• PC card: card0
• File server: server_name (case sensitive without a forward slash in front, and with
a colon after the name)
Enter the following command for flash memory and PC card:
IMGP /medium/Library/Images
Enter the following command for file server:
IMGP server_name:
