I'm not sure about just doing a logo, but we do something similar to print an entire form (which contains a logo). The form is created with whatever layout program you want (like PageMaker), then printed in Windows using a PCL5 print driver, but capturing to a file. The HP Forms & Fonts Manager is used to upload the file to a flash DIMM in the printer as a PCL macro. Then it is just a matter of sending a short PCL sequence just before the form-feed for each page.
For example, if the form is stored as macro 100, this would be the sequence: CHAR(27):"&f100y3X" The ESC &f100Y selects the desired macro, while the ESC &f3X merges it into the page. Again, this sequence is sent AFTER all the other information for the page and just before sending a CHAR(12): I am not sure if you can use this technique to store the form in RAM. We have not tried that. =========================================================== Norman Morgan <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <> http://www.brake.com =========================================================== Exercise daily.
