IMAGE LOAD
Chapter —Program Instructions
Purpose Statement for receiving, converting and installing image and font files.
Syntax IMAGE LOAD[,],[,[,]]
is optionally the number of bytes to skip before starting to read
the data.
is the desired name of the image or font to be created.
is the size of the original file in number of bytes.
is an optional flag:
"S" specifies that the image or font will be saved in the printer’s
permanent memory ("/c"). Avoid this option (slow).
An empty string ("") specifies that the image or font will be
stored in the printer’s temporary memory ("tmp:" ).
optionally specifies a communication channel OPENed for INPUT
by the number assigned to the device.
(Default: Std IN channel.)
Remarks This statement prepares the printer to receive a .PCX image file, an image
file in the internal Intermec Fingerprint bitmap format, or a font file on
the standard IN channel (see SETSTDIO statement) or on another communication
channel OPEN for INPUT. When the file is received, it will
automatically be converted to an image in the internal bitmap format of
Intermec Fingerprint or to a scaleable font respectively.
The optional first parameter makes it possible to use this statement in MS-
DOS (CR/LF problem).
The name of an image may consist of max. 30 characters including possible
extension. The image will have the same direction as the original image file
and can only be rotated 180° using a DIR statement. We therefore recommend
that you include the extension .1 or .2 to indicate for which print
directions the image is intended. Font file names are only restricted to 30
characters. The size of the original file should be given in bytes according
to its size in the host.
Before IMAGE LOAD can be used on a serial channel, the setup must be
changed to 8 characters, CTS/RTS handshake. When an IMAGE LOAD
statement is executed, the execution stops and waits for the number of
bytes specified in the statement to be received. During the transfer of
image file data to the printer, there is a 25 seconds timeout between characters.
If a new character has not been received within the timeout limit,
Error 80 “Download timeout” occurs. When the specified number of
characters have been received, the execution is resumed.
If the downloading was successful, the downloaded image or font will be
installed automatically and can be used without any rebooting.
