System-Level Commands
E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual 15
STX I Image Downloading
This command must precede image downloading from a host computer to the printer. The data that
immediately follows the command string will be image data. If any of the 8-bit input formats are to
be used, it is necessary to disable the Immediate Command interpreter by executing an <SOH>D
command before issuing the <STX>I command. See Appendix M for more information. To print an
image, see Generating Label Formats.
Note: The native format for storing downloaded PCX and BMP images is RLE-2. This results in a
better compression ratio for gray-scale images and for images with very large areas with
either black or white, effectively resulting in more module space for downloaded images.
