[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 printer executes a hardware reset after the procedure
to place the image into the non-volatile memory. Therefore,
user-defined characters, downloaded bit images, and macros
should be defined only after completing this command. The
printer clears the receive and print buffers and resets the
mode to the mode that was in effect at power on.
• During processing this command, the printer 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 real-time commands during the execution of this
command.
• This command cancels all NV bit images that have already
been defined by this command. The printer can not redefine
only one of several data definitions previously defined. In this
case, all data needs to be sent again.
• From the beginning of the processing of this command till
the finish of hardware reset, mechanical operations (including
initializing the position of the printer 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 defined in a non-
volatile memory by FS q and printed by FS p.
• In standard mode, this command is effective only when
processed at the beginning of the line.
• In page mode, this command is not effective.
• This command is effective when 7 bytes <FS~yH> is
processed as a normal value.
• When the amount of data exceeds the capacity left in the
range defined by xL, xH, yL, yH, the printer processes xL, xH,
yL, yH out of the defined range.
• In the first group of NV bit images, when any of the
parameters xL, xH, yL, yH is out of the definition range, this
command is disabled.
• In groups of NV bit images other than the first one, when the
printer processes xL, xH, yL, yH out of the defined range, it
stops processing this command and starts writing into the
