Hi,

We have a Zebra TLP 2844 printer and I am trying to print a GFX, but with no success.
I have made a PCX file with Photoshop of 23.208k (using DIR in MSDOS box).
Then I made a File STOREIT.TXT
===
GK"LOGO2"
GK"LOGO2"
GM"LOGO2"23208

===
Then in MSDOS Box I type:
COPY STOREIT.TXT + LOGO2.PCX LPT1 /b

It Says that it has copied the file. But when I then try to print something using a textfile with the next command in
===
GG50,50,"LOGO2"

LOGO2
P1
===

Using COPY printGFX.TXT LPT1

It does nothing

Any help is welcome. Please tell me what I did wrong.

Send the command to list the graphics in the printer (GI) If it is not listed, then there is a problem in the files you copied to the printer. Ensure the PCX is only 2 color. Ensure there is enough memory in the printer to store the graphic. This will be shown on the listing.

A common mistake is to have extra cr/lf's in your storeit.txt file. Check for this.

If it is stored, you should send the following to print it:
