If the uploaded image exceeds the specified dimensions, the display shows only part of the
image. The "Adapt logo" option in STEP 7 allows you to reduce the image to the specified
dimensions. However, note that the original aspect ratio of the image is not retained in such
cases.
Displaying image on the display
To display the uploaded image on the display of the CPU, press the ESC key in the main
screen of the display. When you upload an image and are in the main screen, the display
automatically shows the image after 60 seconds. To hide the image again, press any key on
the display.
