I guess you will need to write a program to read the data and reformat it into the required format using multiple characters.

Ric, I am not sure how that program should be? Can you give me some hints?

Do you have any programming skills at all?
This sounds like a first year programming exercise, which could be done in any language you like.

My programming is not bad. I tried to break my logo to 16 characters, e.g., {0x00, 0x01,..,0x13}. My problem is when I write a code like this:

Code: Select all

   print(0x00);
   print(0x01);
   print(0x02);
   print(0x03);
delay_ms(1000);
beez_time=BEEP;
   print(13);//go to new line
   print(0x04);
   print(0x05);
   print(0x06);
   print(0x07);
delay_ms(1000);
beez_time=BEEP;
   print(13);
   print(0x08);
   print(0x09);
   print(0x0A);
   print(0x0B);
delay_ms(1000);
beez_time=BEEP;
   print(13);//go to new line
   print(0x0C);
   print(0x0D);
   print(0x0E);
   print(0x0F);
delay_ms(1000);
beez_time=BEEP;
   print(13);//go to new line
   print(0x10);
   print(0x11);
   print(0x12);
   print(0x13);
delay_ms(1000);
beez_time=BEEP;
   print(13);//go to new line
   print(0x14);
   print(0x15);
   print(0x16);
   print(0x17);
delay_ms(1000);
beez_time=BEEP;
   print(13);//go to new line



where these hex addresses represents (in the micro thermal printer)

I saw the attached LOGO!, which is quite puzzling. Another image is my logo.

Can anyone tell me what is going on? BTW, I converted my logo to hex files by https://javl.github.io/image2cpp/.
