• The maximum definition area of this printer is 2M bits (256K bytes).  Multiple NV

bit images can be defined, but bit images of which total size (Bit image data +
Header) exceeds 2M bits (256K bytes) can not be defined.

• The printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation into the

non-volatile memory begins.  Also,for a printer that have a dip switch [BUSY], the
printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation begins regardless
of the state of the dip switch.

• While this command is being executed, it is not possible to send ASB status or to

detect the printer status even when the ASB function is selected.

• If this command is sent while a macro is still being defined, the definition process

will be stopped and the execution of this command will start.

• NV bit images that are defined already are not initialized by using ESC @ command,

or by resetting the printer or turning the power off.

• The command only executes definition of NV bit image, but not start printing.  The

printing of NV bit image will be executed by FS p.

• Because frequent writing in the non-volatile memory can destroy the memory, the

writing command should be used less than 10 times a day.

• Just after the completion of the writing operation into the non-volatile memory,

the printer hardware will be reset.  Therefore, download characters, download bit
images, and macro definition will be made undefined.  The receiving buffer/printer
buffer will be cleared, and each setting will go back to its default value.  Then the
status of dip switches will be checked once more.

• It may happen that the printer becomes BUSY during the process of writing data

into the non-volatile memory in the execution of this command.  When the printer
becomes BUSY, it will stop receiving data.  Therefore, sending data from the host
(including real time command) is prohibited.
