The logo data to be printed as the water mark.
If it is not possible to set an appropriate image with this setting, form the logo data registered as the

<Water Mark Function>
When the water mark function is valid, the water mark is printed by its trigger.
However, this function is effective for print data that can be contained in the image buffer length.
Print data beyond the image buffer length is unaffected by this function.
Printing that is started other than the water mark trigger ignores the water mark print.
When in 2-color printing, this function is ignored.
Water mark printing triggers
• Cutter command:
• FF command:
• BM detection command:
• Print start command:
• Raster mode:
Use example
1) Register logo to use as water mark in logo number 1.
2) Water mark function is enabled:
2) Print data transfer:
3) Trigger command transfer:
