COM Port
The COM Port allows your PC to communicate to your microFlash
printer or some other peripheral device. The COM Port is the opening in
the back of the computer into which you insert a cable that is attached to
your printer. COM Port “A” is equivalent to COM Port 1, and COM Port
“B” is equivalent to COM Port 2.
Compressed Graphics
Graphics which have been reduced to the smallest possible size in order
to speed data transmission.
CRC- Cyclic Redundancy Check
As used in the Easy Print Store Graphic command, the CRC is a number
calculated by your program which is matched against the number
calculated by the printer after the graphic is received. If the printer’s
CRC number and the program’s CRC number match, the data was
received in its entirety. Otherwise, the graphic will be rejected.
Interference with the data can be caused by electrical noise.
