[Notes]
· Frequent write command execution may cause damage the NV memory. Therefore, it is recommended to write the NV memory 10 times or less a day. · The device executes a hardware reset after the procedure to place the image into the non- volatile memory. Therefore, user-deined characters, downloaded bit images, and macros should be deined only after completing this command. The device clears the receive and print bufers and resets the mode to the mode that was in efect at power on. · During processing this command, the device is in BUSY when writing the data to the user NV memory and stops receiving data. Therefore it is prohibitted to transmit the data including the realtime commands during the execution of this command.
· This command cancels all NV bit images that have already been deined by this command. The device can not redeine only one of several data deinitions previously deined. In this case, all data needs to be sent again. · From the beginning of the processing of this command till the inish of hardware reset, mechanical operations (including initializing the position of the device head when the cover is open, paper feeding by using the PAPER FEED button, etc.) cannot be executed. · NV bit image means a bit image which is deined in a non- volatile memory by 0x1C 0x71 and printed by 0x1C 0x70. · In standard mode, this command is efective only when processed at the beginning of the line.
