FLASH MEMORY DOWNLOAD MODE

A Flash ROM internally stores and deletes font data and custom designed character data. The storage capacity for custom characters is 95 for each type of 16 x 16, 22 x 22, and 24 x 24 dots.

There are four transmission protocols for font download: (1) Download Font Storage, (2) Download Font Deletion, (3) Download Font Information Aquisition, (4) Storage Custom- Designed Character. The printer return status is set between STX (02H) and ETX (03H), and transferred in 3 bytes. Note that the return status for the font data transfer when storing font is 1 byte of ACK (06H). All status data transferred from the host are set between STX (02H) and ETX (03H), and transferred in 3 bytes.
