Power Switch Cover
Install the power switch cover that comes with the TM-T88IV onto the printer to prevent
inadvertent changing of the power switch, to prevent tampering, and to improve the appearance
of the printer.
To reset the printer when the power switch cover is installed, insert a long, thin object (such as
the end of a paper clip)
WARNING
into the hole in the power switch cover and press the power switch.
If an accident occurs with the power switch cover attached, unplug the power cord
immediately.
Continued use may cause fire or shock.

NV Memory (Non-Volatile Memory)
The printer has NV memory which includes the user NV memory and NV graphics memory that
users can use.
NV memory can be rewritten about 100,000 times. 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 recei pts can be stored. Even with a serial interface
model whose communication speed is low, high speed graphic printing is possible.
Use the TM Flash Logo Setup utility for NVRAM to register graphics.
NV Graphics Print Mode
In this mode the printer prints the following:
•Capacity of the NV graphics
•Used amount of the NV graphics
•Unused capacity of the NV graphics
•Number of the NV graphics that are registered
• Key code, number of dots in X direction, number of dots in Y direction, number of colors to be
