[Description] Define the NV bit im age specified by n .
• n specifies the number of the defined NV bit image.
• xL, xH specifies (xL + xH × 256) × 8 dots in the horizontal direction for the NV bit image you
are defining.
• yL, yH specifies (yL + yH × 256) × 8 dots in the vertical direction for the NV bit image you
are defining.
[Details] • This comm and 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 proces sing 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 FEED button, etc.) cannot be performed.
• During processing this com mand, the printer is in BUSY when writing the data to the NV user
memory and stops receiving data. Ther efore it is prohibitted to transmit the data including
the real-time commands during the execution of this command.
• NV bit image means a bit im age which is defined in a non-volatile memory by FS q and
printed by FS p.
• In standard mode, this com mand is effective only when processed at the beginning of the
line.
• In page mode, this comm and is not effective.
• This comm and is effective when 7 bytes <FS∼yH> is processed as a normal value.
• When the am ount 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 im ages, 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 f irst one, when the printer processes xL, xH, yL, yH
out of the defined range, it stops processing this command and starts writing into the NV
images. At this time, NV bit images that haven’t been defined are disabled (undefined), but
any NV bit images before that are enabled.
