Cards after discharged to the front after erasing/printing in the same way as parameter
specification 1.
This parameter specification method (specifying only the discharge control method) is
completely compatible with the conventional erase + discharge command (46h).
• Parameter specification example 3
STX 46h 31h
, 30h ETX BCC
After printing, the card is discharged to front.
For example, this applies to one-time media.
• Parameter specification example 5
STX 46h 31h
, 31h ,30h ETX BCC After erasing, the card is discharged to front.
For example, this applies to invalidating the rewrite media surface (printing surface).
(10) Print → discharge command
This command prints only to the print surface.
If there is a card idling in the device, it prints to the card.
If there is no targeted card, it will wait until one is inserted into the device, then starts printing.
After printing, the device will either discharge the card according to the discharge method
specification parameter or it will stop while idling and hold the card.
Discharged cards wait to be pulled out and are no longer process target cards.
The device stops at the front idling position, and the card being held is a process target card.
The print expansion buffer and rasterized image register buffer are not cleared with the
execution of the print command.
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.
