[Function]
<Thermal>
Prints bit images using 1 dots wide and 1 dots high per 1 dot of input data.
The following shows the details of data processing with this command.
• When {(n1 + n2 x 256) x 8} exceeds the printable region, only the data in the printing region is
printed.
• When {(n1 + n2 x 256) x 8} exceeds the currently set printable region, only the data in the printing
region is printed.
At this time, all data for the print region is discarded.
• If the current position already exceeds the print region, this command discards all data.
<Slip>, <Validation>
