NOTES: (1) The storage of PC commands is only performed if it is required.

(2)When the flash memory card is used, and the Memory Card Format Command is not sent before storing already stored writable characters or logos, memory will be taken up with every such storing.

(3)When the flash memory card is used, and another operation (storing PC interface commands or label issue operation) is performed after storing writable characters or logos, the image buffer will be cleared automatically.

(4)If another storing operation does not take place after storing writable characters or logos, the printer automatically enters the online mode (label issue operation) after about 10 seconds. In this case, when the flash memory card is used, the image buffer will be automatically cleared.
