I. What is a Driver Triggered Logo?

Whether the logo is stored on the PC or in the printer memory itself, the printer must receive a command for it to know
where to actually print the logo on the receipt. This command can be sent using the Star futurePRNT driver. Alternatively, a
programmer may choose to send the command directly from the POS Software.

Above: The Star Pizzas logo and Free Ice Cream coupon are both triggered by assigning their location of print in the driver.
