Parameter details
• n: Specifies registered logo count
• xn1, xn2: Horizontal size of registered logo {(xn1 + xn2 x 256) x 8} dots
• yn1, yn2: Vertical size of registered logo {(yn1 + yn2 x 256) x 8} dots
• d: Registered logo data
• k: Logo data count
This command should be specified at the top of the line.
When the first parameter is determined to be free of error, the printer starts processing this com-
mand.
When logo register processing starts, all previously defined data is deleted.(It is not possible to re-
register a portion of a plurality of defined logo data.)
Logo registration numbers are defined in rising order from 1.
If the defined area specified by the parameter is not empty, or if there is an error in the parameter
specification, register processing is aborted.(The pre-registered and complete data is effective.)
The printer should be reset if logo registration is completed or register processing is aborted.
If an error occurs while performing register processing (the time from when the first parameter is OK
until the printer initialization is completed after registering a logo), error processing, mechanical op-
eration and status processing cannot be performed. Also, data must not be sent from the host during
that time.
This command is executed only for logo registration and does not accompany the printing operation.
Logos are printed using the ESC FS p (print NV logo) command.
• The NV memory capacity is 4 Mbits (512 Kbytes = 524,288 bytes).
However, 4 Kbytes (4,096 bytes) are kept as parameter information separate to the data so the data
region memory capacity is 520,192 Bytes.
Ex.: When the registered data size per each one is 6 Kbytes (6,144 bytes), it is possible to regis-
ter 520,192/6144 = 84.
Registration is possible regardless of the 2 color printing mode being specified or cancelled. Register
logos with the same capacity as the logo register number k (odd number) and k + 1 (even number).
If the capacity differs or the logo register number is 255, this command is ignored by the logo print
command in the 2 color print mode.
