(11) Erase discharge command
This command erases the print surface.
If there is a card idling in the device, it erases to the card.
If there is no targeted card, it will wait until one is inserted into the device, then starts erasing.
After erasing, 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.
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.

Internal image data 2 expand command (EU/UK/US)
(Contact our sales representative for destination country.)
This command expands images specified by an expansion image number from among the
image data stored in the reader/writer flash ROM2.
Image data is a maximum of 16 image data expanded to the flash ROM2 image area
(0X100000-0X1FFFFF). This is data of a BMP file (bit map file) on a Windows system, that is
registered by
the BMP file register command (4Bh) to the internal image data
. When
expanding to the print expansion buffer, it is possible to print with a progress bar shown in the
figure below, by specifying the X direction expansion starting dot and expansion ending dot for
the image.
