NOTES
This command requires the Expanded Memory Option. See your SATO
representative for details.
Data must be sent in binary format.
The Memory Area Select Command <ESC>CCa must be sent before this command.
The first 62 bytes of the stored file is used for the header and the remainder is the
BMP image data.
The graphic will not be printed correctly if the specified size does not match the actual
graphic size.
Only black and white non-compressed BMP files can be stored. Color BMP files will
cause an error.
If you try to store an image in a memory area that already contains data, an error will
occur.
