Chapter 1 Product Overview
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
As a guide, NV memory rewriting should be 10 times or less a day when you program
applications.
CAUTION
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.
• 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
nformation Print Mode" on page 50.

Memory Switches
With the memory switches, which are software switches for the printer, you can configure various settings of the
printer. For information about the memory switches, see "S
on page 32.

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 32.
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.
• For the character code table, see "Character Code Tables" on page 101.
• User-defined page is not supported by South Asia font models.
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.
Maintenance Counter can be checked with the TM-T70II Utility or in a self-test.
