Enters a BMP file into RAM or Flash.
This command is used by sending the file data of a monochrome BMP file
preceded by a 0 x 1B. The bit map is stored in the printer in the same manner as a
down loaded bit image.
The downloaded BMP file can be printed by using the Print Downloaded Bit
Image (1D 2F m) command.
Exceptions:
BMP file images that are not monochrome are ignored. This command is only
valid for the receipt station.
This is only available in A758 Native Mode.

Excess data is accepted but ignored. Any print command is required to print the
data, after which the printer returns to normal processing mode.

In A756 Emulation Mode, slip graphics are only 7- bit (MSB not printed.) In A758
Native Mode, slip graphics are 8-bit.
