23 1 NV Memory (Non-Volatile Memory) The printer's NV memory stores data even after the printer power is turned off. NV memory contains the following memory areas for the user: • NV graphics memory • User NV memory • Memory switches • R/E (Receipt Enhancement) • User-defined page • Maintenance counter NV Graphics Memory Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored. Even with a serial interface model whose communication speed is low, high speed graphics printing is possible. Use the TM-T70II Utility to register graphics. You can also use the TM-T70II Utility or the NV graphics information print mode to confirm the registered graphics. User NV Memory You can store and read text data for multiple purposes, such as for storing a note including customizing or maintenance information of the printer. Use ESC/POS commands to store and read the text data. CAUTION As a guide, NV memory rewriting should be 10 times or less a day when you program applications. For detailed information about the TM-T70II Utility, see the TM-T70II Utility User’s Manual. For information about how to use the NV graphics information print mode, see "NV Graphics Information Print Mode" on page 85. For information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Command Reference.

various settings of the printer. For information about the memory switches, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 54. R/E (Receipt Enhancement) Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on top or bottom of receipts can be registered. For information about R/E, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 54. User-defined Page You can store character data in the user-defined page (character code table: page 255) so that you can also print characters not resident in the printer. Maintenance Counter With this function, printer information, such as the number of lines printed, the number of autocuts, and printer operation time after the printer starts working, is automatically stored in NV memory. You can read the information with the Status API of the APD or OPOS ADK to use it for periodical checks or part replacement. For the character code table, see "Character Code Tables" on page 112. User-defined page is not supported by South Asia font models. Maintenance Counter can be checked with the TM-T70II Utility or in a self-test.

69 2 Drawer connection diagram Setting the Internal Buzzer (for Models with an Internal Buzzer) Models with the buzzer function can beep the buzzer when the drawer is opened, by setting the properties of the driver or outputting a pulse signal by a command. The internal buzzer cannot change the buzzer volume and sound pattern but can change the buzzer frequency. When using the internal buzzer, you need to enable the internal buzzer with the memory switch. The buzzer setting is performed by setting the memory switches for the buzzer and specifying connector pin numbers to which a command outputs a pulse signal, as shown in the table below. For information about the memory switches, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 54 Memory switch Specified connector pin ON OFF Initial setting Buzzer frequency (Pulse 1) Drawer kick out connector pin 2 Buzzer beeps. Buzzer does not beep. OFF Buzzer frequency (Pulse 2) Drawer kick out connector pin 5 Buzzer beeps. Buzzer does not beep. ON Since the buzzer drive signal and the cash drawer drive signal are common in the printer, do not use the same connector pin numbers to output the signal for the buzzer and the cash drawer. For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Command Ref- erence. For detailed information about the driver control, see the manual for each driver.

71 3 Application Development Information This chapter describes how to control the printer and gives information useful for printer application development. How to Control the Printer Use a driver or ESC/POS commands to control the printer. Selecting a Driver Choose one of the drivers listed in "Software and Manuals" on page 78, depending on the application operating environment. For information about the driver operating environment, see the installation manual for each driver. When you newly develop an application • Use APD if you want to print TrueType fonts or print much graphics. • OPOS ADK is recommended for system extensibility. An OPOS driver is provided for various peripherals and it is now a POS industry standard. It enables POS system efficiency, reduction of development cost, and effective use of application assets. You can use all functions including ones not supported by OPOS ADK or APD, by using ESC/POS commands through your driver. Use the DIRECT I/O function of OPOS ADK, the control A command of APD, or Status API to send ESC/POS commands from each driver. (See "ESC/POS command functions" on page 72.)
