Counts every cut. [See NOTE 3.]
Counts every up and down of the print head using the solenoid
for ribbon save operation. (Up+Down=1 count) [See NOTE 3.]
Counts when the ribbon motor drives to feed, print and issue the
media. (The driving time is not counted during ribbon saving
operation, but is during back feed.) [See NOTE 4.]
Counted during ribbon saving operation. [See NOTE 4.]

NOTES:
1. Item from (2) through (10) are initialized to “0” after RAM clear.
2. If the distance is 5.5 m or less, it is rounded down and no data is added to the memory
at power off.
3. If the count is 31 counts or less, it is rounded down and no data is added to the memory
at power off.
4. If the driving time is 27 sec. or less, it is rounded down and no data is added to the memory
at power off.
5. When a sent command results in an error, the same number as the data capacity of the
command is counted by byte.
