5. TRANSMISSION SEQUENCE
This section describes the outline of the transmission sequence.
5.1 INITIALIZATION
Writable characters, logo, and PC interface commands must be stored before the label issue
operation.
(1) Storing writable characters and logo
NOTES: (1) The storage of writable characters or logos is only performed if it is required.
(2) When the flash memory card is used, and the 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 cleared automatically.
