esc/pos command

[phang]

i am writing a program using visual basic 6 to print receipt to Epson compatible POS Printer. For printing Text is ok, but i wanted to include image into the receipt, but i don't know how to do so.

For Text printing, I use the ESC/POS command something like

Open "LPT1:" For Output As #1

Print #1, Chr$(27) + "@" ' initial printer
Print #1, "my code here"
Print #1, Chr$(27); "m" ' cut receipt
Close #1


i saw the epson pos printer manual, it say use the ESC/POS Command like

GS ( L - define,download and print NV graphics
GS * - define downloaded bit image
GS / - print downloaded bit image
FS p - print NV bit image
FS q - Define NV bit Image

but i don't know how to use the following command in order to print a image.

please help.
