Loads user-defined characters to flash memory. An application must use this command to store user-defined
characters in flash memory. Any user-defined characters defined following this command are stored in flash memory. A
user-defined character cannot be redefined in flash memory. The flash memory page must be erased by an application
before redefining user-defined characters. For more information, see the erase user flash sector (1D 40 n) command.

Specifies whether to load the logos or user-defined characters to logo/font flash memory or to RAM (volatile memory).
The selection remains in effect until it is changed via this command or until the power cycles. To specify permanent
font flash, also send 1D 22 81 01.

n1 is the number of 64k sectors used for logos and user-defined characters.
n2 is the number of 64k sectors used for user data storage.
n1 + n2 <= 6 (dec) (1M)
n1 + n2 <= 22 (dec) 16 (hex) (2M)
n1 + n2 <= 22 (dec) 16 (hex) (2M)
If n1 + n2 is greater than the maximum number of sectors available, the command is ignored. The printer returns
NACK.
NACK.
Issuing this command with parameters different from current parameters will erase all sectors. The printer returns ACK.
Issuing this command with parameters the same as current parameters will do nothing. The printer returns ACK.
Note: Flash memory is made up of user and program code. Therefore, the available flash memory space will vary with the

This sequence of commands is used to specify the number of flash sectors to be used for different applications. The
begin and end sequence commands must be sent. All areas do not need to have flash sectors specified.
begin and end sequence commands must be sent. All areas do not need to have flash sectors specified.
The command to request the number of user sectors is optional.
If more sectors are specified than are available the command sequence is ignored and the printer returns NACK.
If the sectors are available, and different from current parameters, all sectors are erased and the printer returns ACK.
If the sectors specified are the same as current parameters, nothing is erased and the printer returns ACK.
