=================================

//this function only to understand what i use to read the image.

[//this line I use to call the function to read cpcl image!
//and here we got the image from resources

result = StringUtils.replace(result, "${Logo}", PrinterUtil.readFormat(context, R.raw.logo));


//this is the code used to read image as a string and it works perfectly with the example.

public static String readFormat(Context context, int formatRes) {

  InputStream is = null;

   try {

  is = context.getResources().openRawResource(formatRes);

   try {

   return readString(is);

  } catch (IOException e) {

   return null;

  }

  } finally {

   if (is != null) {

   try {

  is.close();

  } catch (IOException e) {

  }

  }

  }

How to change logo in Ticket using CPCL in Android app?

1.You have to follow these steps to change it and make it work with Zebra printer MZ320 & iMZ320:

At the first you have to change your image to black & white image using this link. https://pinetools.com/threshold-image.
After that you have to get it as binary text from its pixels and resize it using custom width =120 using this link https://www.dcode.fr/binary-image.
Copy binary text that you exported from image and paste it into text editor like notebad++.

2.Change all (1) ones in the image to (F) capital letter.

3.your_ticket.cpcl Then you have to use this command into it

`EXPANDED-GRAPHICS [ByteWidth] [Height] [X] [Y] [Data]<CR><LF>`.

4.ByteWidth is size of bytes of first line in your data like that example below.

5.Height is the number of lines in your data

6.Data is the image data copy it from text editor and write it like that example.

7.Example:

EXPANDED-GRAPHICS 10 6 30 30 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

FF0000FFFFFFF00000FF

FF00000FFFFF000000FF

FF000000FFF0000000FF

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Test your image data and print ticket if you find that your image not clear try to rotate it 35 degree to right like that image.
