NOTES
Graphic images may be printed along with other data to enhance label appearance or eliminate the
need for preprinted label stock. Using a dot-addressable matrix, design the graphic image in 8 x 8 dot
blocks, then send it in a binary format to the printer.
Do not use <ESC>CR or <ESC>LF characters as line delimiters within graphic data or the actual image
will not be printed as specified. A custom graphic cannot be enlarged by the Character Expansion
<ESC>L command and is not affected by either of the Rotation commands. Always design the graphic
image in the appropriate orientation.
Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 51 for additional information.
