• The definition data of one NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1… dk]. Therefore, when only
one NV bit image is defined, n = 1; the data group [xL xH yL yH d1… dk] is manipulated o nce, and
([Data: (xL + xH x256) x( yL + yH x256 ) x8 ] + [Header: 4]) bytes of non-volatile memory is
used to store it
• The maximum definition area of printer depends on model. Multiple NV bit images can be defined,
but bit images of which total size (Bit image data + Header) exceeds capacity of definition area
can not be defined.
• The printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation into the non-volatile
memory begins. Also, the printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation
begins regardless of the state of the memory switch even at a printer that have a memory switch
1-3[Busy condition]
• While this command is being executed, it is not possible to send ASB statu s or to dete ct the pri nter
status even when the ASB function is selected.
• If this command is sent while a macro is still being defined, the definition process will be stopped
and the execution of this command will start.
• NV bit images that are defined already are not initialized by using ESC @ command, or by
resetting the printer or turning the power off.
• The command only executes definition of NV bit image, but not start printing. The printing of NV
bit image will be executed by FS p.
• Because frequent writing in the non-volatile memory can destroy the memory, the writing
command should be used less than 10 times a day.
• It may happen that the printer becomes BUSY during the process of writing data into the
non-volatile memory in the execution of this comma nd. When the printer becomes BUSY, it will
stop receiving data. Therefore, sending data from the host (including real time command) is
prohibited.
