Erase + print discharge command
This command prints while executing the erase operation on the print surface.
If there is a card idling in the device, it executes the erase + print operations.
If there is no targeted card, it will wait until one is inserted into the device, then perform the
erase + print operations.
After erasing and printing, the device will either discharge the card according to the discharge
method specification parameter or it will stop while idling and hold the card.
Discharged cards wait to be pulled out and are no longer process target cards.
The device stops at the front idling position, and the card being held is a process target card.
The print expansion buffer and rasterized image register buffer are not cleared with the
execution of the erase + print command.
If a card is not inserted after this command is issued, or to cancel the command, issue the card
insertion wait status cancel command (54h).
The processing time can vary depending on the card type, ambient temperature and head heat.
