Hello Trevor,

There is a PCX command that gives a user the ability to send “.PCX” graphics formatted images to the printer. The .PCX image MUST be encoded as a black and white image. This way PCX image get loaded into the printer’s flash file system and given a name you provided for it. Then another PCX command with “!

Yes i did see that but i do have a few questions if thats ok?

Format:
     {command} {x} {y} {data}
     where: {command}: PCX
                 {x}: X-coordinate of the top-left corner.
                 {y}: Y-coordinate of the top-left corner.
                 {data}: PCX image data.

why would you need to speify the top left corner of the image as surly it would always be 0 and 0? as when you render the image you can then move it left and right with the x and y command?

Lastly the {data} part, is that literally the byte data of the PCX file? and the name of the file is the original pcx files file name.

Thank you again for your help with this
