Used to configure printer commands when printing dockets and receipts in non-graphical (Esc/POS) printing mode. Printer commands are configured for each type of printer, to perform functions such as paper cuts, bold text, text alignment, etc.
Downloading Of Tickets And Logos ▲ ▼
Print the logo on an Epson TM88-IV Printer - \1d\28\4c\06\00\30\45\30\30\01\01
Tickets are normally 420 pixels wide and the height of the Voucher will determine the amount of memory that is used in the Printer. To install the logos in the printer's VRAM you must make them BMP files with 4bit greyscale. Normal 8bit graphics will not download to the VRAM.
