5. TRANSMISSION SEQUENCE

This section describes the outline of the transmission sequence.

5.1 INITIALIZATION

Writable characters, logos, and PC interface commands must be stored before the label issue

operation.

(1) Storing writable characters and logos

NOTES: (1) The storage of PC commands is only performed if it is required.

(2) When the flash memory card is used, and the Memory Card 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 automatically cleared.
