[Function]



Downloads the graphic or font data to the printer.



The input data of the data format specified by Parameter f is converted to the format of the

extension specified by Parameter x.



The converted data is stored with the file name specified in Parameters d, o, and x.



The following table indicates the definition scope of Parameter t and the handling of Parameter w

based on the extension type.

The data format for the bitmap graphic for the GRF extension is as follows.



If the bitmap graphic is line H, then t = H × w.



1 byte of data expresses 8 dots.

Therefore, if the data is F0h, then these 8 dots are rendered as

follows.



Graphic data is handled as follows.



If the data format is binary, you can use any binary data as Parameter data.

At this time, the

size of Parameter data must be matched to the size specified in Parameter t.



If the data format is a hexadecimal character string, one character from 1. to 3. below is used as

Parameter data.

At this time, the size of Parameter data written in binary must be matched to

the size specified in Parameter t.

1. 0 to 9, A to F, and a to f in ASCII can be used as hexadecimal graphic data.

2. ASCII comma <,>, the parameter separator character, is used to separate lines.

If a comma

is input, processing is carried out as if ASCII 0 was input for the remainder of the line.

3. G to Y and g to z in ASCII can be used as repetition characters.

For example, if I9 is input,

processing is carried out as if 999 were input.

The following table indicates the number of

repetitions.
