[Function]
Prints mark number specified by m, based on the pre-specified mark format (mark height, mark line
feed amount, mark color, and mark horizontal width).
n indicates the number of marks to print. When there are 10 marks (m1 to m10), n = “010.”
m indicates the mark number to print.
n, m are ASCII character strings that are expressed in decimal. They are composed of character
codes from “0” to “9.”
This command is ignored if print data exists in the image buffer.
Therefore, this cannot exist with other print data (characters, bit images, bar codes).
If the specified mark does not fit in the remaining print region, the number of bytes specified by n are
received and discarded.
If n is outside of the defined area, data thereafter is processed as normal data.
This command is affected by position alignment, left margin, position movement, position such as
horizontal tabs, and upside-down printing.
