STX G Print Last Label Format
This command prints a previously formatted label and restarts a canceled batch job
following the last processed label. This is used when there is a label format in the buffer.
The <STX>E command is used to enter the quantity. (Without the <STX>E command, one
label will print.)
Syntax:
<
STX>G
STX I Input Image Data
This command must precede image downloading from the host to the printer. The data
that immediately follows the command string will be image data.

The native format for storing downloaded PCX and BMP images is RLE-2, which results
in a better compression ratio for less module space usage when downloading gray-scale
images and images with large black or white areas.

data...data <CR>
The sample above instructs the printer to (1) receive an 8-bit PCX
image sent by the host in an 8-bit data format, (2) name the
image “Test”, and (3) store it in Module D (with a .dim file
extension).
