(7) The printings, print specifications, print format, and user pattern data can be
consecutively transmitted in the following order in a single session.
① Print format
② Print specifications
③ Printings
(Example)
The user pattern can be positioned anywhere within the above data chain.
''Line count / print format uniformity'', ''Format setup change'' and ''Free layout transmission'' must be
transmitted independently. If an attempt is made to send it together with the other data, a
communication error (NAK response) occurs.
The print data recall must also be transmitted independently. Even if it is sent
together with the other data, no error occurs. However, the print data recall takes
precedence, rendering the other data invalid.
(8) Up to 3000 bytes of data can be transmitted at a time, including "STX" and
"ETX".If the 3000-byte limit is exceeded, a communication error (NAK response)
occurs.
(9) Any data transmitted by communication (print contents, print specifications,
print format, and user pattern) is not stored except in the following cases.
[Conditions for storing the data]
① When the ink is stopped after communication by the Shut down key or a stop signal.
(10) Transmit to the existing print item after creating a transmission objective
print item.
