(9) Erase + print → discharge command
This command performs the operations specifying the control methods for deleting, printing
and discharging.
If there is a card idling in the device, it operates immediately.
If there is no targeted card, the system will wait until one is inserted into the device, then
perform the operation after a card is inserted.
After the operation is completed, the print expansion buffer and rasterized image register
buffer are not cleared.
If a card is not inserted after this command is issued, or to cancel the command, issue the
card insertion wait status cancel command (54h) after canceling the state of communication.
The processing time can vary depending on the card type, ambient temperature and head
heat.
