Specification
(STANDARD)
B
The d indicates the definition data. In data (d) a 1 bit specifies a dot to be printed and a 0 bit
specifies a dot not to be printed.
This command defines n as the number of a NV bit image. Numbers rise in order from NV bit
image 01H. Therefore, the first data group
[xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image 01H, and the
last data group
[xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image n. The total agrees with the number of
NV bit images specified by command
FS p.
A definition data of a NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1...dk]. Therefore, when only
one NV bit image is defined
n=1, the printer processes a data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk]
once. The printer uses ([data: (xL + xH × 256) × (yL + yH × 256) × 8] + [header :4])
bytes of NV memory.
The definition area in this printer is a maximum of 2M bits (256K bytes). This command can
define several NV bit images, but cannot define a bit image data whose total capacity [bit
image data
+ header] exceeds 2M bytes (256K bytes).
The printer is busy immediately before writing into NV memory, regardless of the setting of
DIP switch 2-1.
The printer does not transmit ASB status and perform status detection during processing of
this command even when ASB is specified.
When this command is received during macro definition, the printer ends macro definition,
and begins performing this command.
Once a NV bit image is defined, it is not erased by performing ESC @, reset, and power off.
This command performs only definition of a NV bit image and does not perform printing.
Printing of the NV bit image is performed by the
FS p command.
[Notes]
Frequent write command execution may cause damage the NV memory.
Therefore, it is recommended to write the NV memory 10 times or less a day.
The printer performs a hardware reset after the procedure to place the image into the NV
memory. Therefore, user-defined characters, downloaded bit images, and macros should be
defined only after completing this command. The printer clears the receive and print buffers
and resets the mode to the mode that was in effect at power on. At this time, DIP switch
settings are checked again.
