• Frequent write command executions by this command may damage the NV
memory. Therefore, it is recommended to write to the NV memory no more than
10 times a day.
• While processing this command, the printer is BUSY while writing data to the
NV counter memory and stops receiving data. Therefore it is prohibited to
transmit data including the real-time commands during the execution of this
command
