Valid
Repeatedly prints logo specified by n from leading edge of the page to the trailing end of the
page, at the position centered in the horizontal direction.
Set the forming method of the logo data to be printed as the water mark to make the image appropri-
ate as the water mark with this setting.
If the appropriate image is not possible with this setting, re-register after forming the logo data regis-
tered as the water mark as the appropriate data.

When the water mark inversion function is valid, it is printed by the water mark pinting trigger.
However, this function is executed on print data that fits in the image buffer length.
If print data is larger than the image buffer length, water mark printing is ignored.
Also, when starting printing using anything other than the water mark printing trigger, water mark
printing is ignored.
When in 2-color printing mode, this function is invalid.
This setting is not cleared by the ESC @, CAN commands.
