Logos/Graphics
The Zebra printer driver:
• converts colored bitmap graphics to monochrome (black/white) graphics
• imports the monochrome graphics into Smart Forms
• justifies graphics (left, center, right)
• will not convert monochrome graphics
To improve or retain picture quality, Zebra recommends that you manually convert colored
bitmaps to monochrome graphics using a graphics program to avoid any picture quality
deterioration.
Resident Graphics in Smart Forms
During the import to Smart Forms, you have the option to flag a bitmap graphic as “resident”.
Once flagged, the printer driver saves the graphic in the printer’s RAM (specifically, the “R:”
device of the Zebra printer). At the end of the spool request, the driver deletes the graphic from
the printer's RAM to free up all available memory.
Uploading Graphics into Smart Forms
Transaction SE78 can be used to upload logos. You can also run program RSTXLDMC from
transaction /nSA38.
Printer Resident Bar Codes (Flash Memory)
The only way to support graphics stored in the printer’s Flash memory is to recall the object
with a direct ZPL II command. This could be done very simply with the S_LZPL_SETUP
command node (see Printer Settings on page 86) or alternatively by creating a custom Printer
Bar Code or print control (see Printer Bar Codes on page 89).
Note • Resident graphics can be a faster method of printing labels from Smart Forms.
However, this speed is only realized when a single label containing the resident graphic is
printed repeatedly within a given spool request.
