TM-H6000II Technical Reference Guide Chapter 5 Application Development Information for OPOS 5.1 Bitmap Printing There are three methods of printing bitmaps. Use the one appropriate to your purpose. 5.1.1 Explanation of Bitmap Printing 1. Normal Bit-image The PrintBitmap method is to directly print the bitmap. One bitmap printed by this method is formed as a combination of "n" numbers of 1-line bitmaps. So, the width of the paper sets the limit on the size of bitmap, and printing is slow. But the height of paper doesn't set the limit on the size of bitmap. 2. Download Bit-image The SetBitmap method can be used to save a bitmap in the printer, and every time the correct escape sequence (ESC |#B: Prints the pre-stored bitmap. The character '#' is replaced by the bitmap number.) is used, the image will be printed. This method has limits on the size of the bitmap that can be stored, but printing is very fast. If the power supply of printer is shut off, the saved bitmap in the printer will disappear. 3. NV Bit-image EPSON OPOS ADK provides a tool, "TMFLogo" that enables registration of a bitmap image in the NVRAM of an EPSON TM series printer. The tool can be used from the device specific settings of the SetupPOS utility. The bitmap image in the NVRAM can be printed with a printer by using the DirectIO method. Concerning the available NVRAM size for the TM-H6000II, refer to the ADG for TM-H6000II in the OPOS ADK.
