Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

hi there,

i have sucesssfuly manage to create a connection from PDA to serial LX-300
printer, by sending bytes of data to the serial port via COM1. and print
plain text, however i would also like to print an image but dont know how to
go about it.

My ideal is to pass a BMP, GIF,JPG image to the serial as data, in the same
way as i send text, however i have no idea how or if this will work?

Any ideas here?

Thanks,
Paul
