~DY · Download Objects

Downloads files such as graphics (PNG, GRF), TrueType/OpenType fonts or bitmaps into printer memory.

Parameters

• ~DYd:f,b,x,t,w,data - d:f: Drive and file name without extension (e.g. E:LOGO)
• ~DYd:f,b,x,t,w,data - b: Data format: A = uncompressed ASCII hex, B = uncompressed binary, C = AR-compressed binary, P = PNG
• ~DYd:f,b,x,t,w,data - x: File type/extension, e.g. G = raw bitmap (.GRF), P = PNG (.PNG), T = TrueType/OpenType (.TTF/.OTF), E = TrueType extension (.TTE), B = bitmap
• ~DYd:f,b,x,t,w,data - t: Total number of bytes in the file
• ~DYd:f,b,x,t,w,data - w: Bytes per row (.GRF only)
• ~DYd:f,b,x,t,w,data - data: File data in the selected format

Example

~DYE:LOGO,A,P,2048,,

^XA
^FO50,50^IME:LOGO.PNG^FS
^XZ

Tip

~DY is the usual way to store logos (PNG, GRF) and TrueType fonts on the printer - binary data (b = B) is more compact than ASCII hex (b = A). zplCloud's font management also uses ~DY to transfer TTF fonts.
