BITMAP — Raw bitmap

Draws a 1-bit image directly: width in BYTES (8 dots), height in dots, mode 0 overwrite, 1 OR, 2 XOR. A 0 bit prints BLACK — the opposite of ZPL ^GF; a solid black label means the bits are inverted. The data is binary and may contain line breaks.

Syntax

BITMAP x, y, width_bytes, height, mode, <data>

Example

SIZE 100 mm, 150 mm
GAP 3 mm, 0 mm
CLS
BITMAP 200,200,2,16,0,?~?~?~?~                ?~?~?~?~

Parameters

Common mistake

Giving the width in dots: width_bytes counts BYTES, so a 200-dot-wide image is 25, not 200. With 200 the preview expects 1,600 dots per row and 8× the data, and reports the data as incomplete.
