Command Function To store a label image in Expanded Memory
Printer Input <ESC>A
<ESC>CC1
<ESC>&S,01
<ESC>Z
Printer Output There is no printer output as a result of this command.
Special Notes 1. The <ESC>CC Memory Area Select command must be sent before
this command.
2. The label image must be divided from other label images by the
<ESC>A and <ESC>Z bounding commands.
3. The parameters of “bbbb” and “cccc” may be omitted. By specifying
them, the label image can be moved by using the <ESC>V and
<ESC>H position commands when recalling the label image. If the
repositioned label image exceeds beyond the printable area, the
image will be truncated. If an <ESC>A1 Media Size Command has
been sent to the printer, the maximum size form that can be stored is
the size of label defined by the command.
4. A label image cannot be stored in a location that already contains
data.
5. Graphics, PCX and BMP files can be stored with this command.
6. As many as 99 Form Overlays can be stored, however their combined
storage area cannot exceed the available memory.
7. The forms stored by this command are cleared by the <ESC>*R com-
mand.
