non-volatile images. At this time, NV bit images that haven’t
been defined are disabled (undefined), but any NV bit
images before that are enabled.
• The d indicates the definition data. In data ( d) a 1 bit
specifies a dot to be printed and a 0 bit specifies a dot not to
be printed.
• This command defines n as the number of a NV bit image.
Numbers rise in order from NV bit image 01H. Therefore, the
first data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image 01H,
and the last data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image
n. The total agrees with the number of NV bit images
specified by command FS p.
• A definition data of a NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH
d1...dk]. Thefore, when only one NV bit image is defined,
n=1.
• The printer processes a data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk]
once.
• The printer uses ([data: ( xL + xH x 256) x ( yL + yH x 256) x
8] + [header :4]) bytes of non-volatile memory.
• The definition area in this printer is a maximum of 3M bits
(384K bytes). This command can define several NV bit
images, but cannot define a bit image data whose total
capacity [bit image data + header] exceeds 3M bytes (384K
bytes).
• The printer is busy immediately before writing into non-
volatile memory.
• The printer does not transmit ASB status and executes
status detection during processing of this command even
when ASB is specified.
• This command defines NV bit image printing on a paper roll
without being affected by the sheet setting selected in ESC c
1.
• When this command is received during macro definition, the
printer ends macro definition, and begins executing this
command.
• Once a NV bit image is defined, it is not erased by
executing ESC @, reset, and power off.
• This command executes only definition of a NV bit image
and does not execute printing. Printing of the NV bit image is
