Section 4. Programming Reference

1.Specify the exact same parameters for the image to be replaced as were specified in the original data stream, including rotation, expansion, pitch, etc. This will ensure that the new data will exactly replace the old image. If the replacement data contains fewer characters than the old data, then the characters not replaced will still be printed.

2.This command will not function if the power has been cycled off and back on since the last label was printed.

3.Proportional Pitch text cannot be used with this command.
