jjj-----jjj: Data string to be printed (Omissible)
Max. 366 digits
* The maximum of 366 digits of data string to be printed are acceptable. (The maximum number of
digits of the data string to be printed differs depending on the numbers of columns, the number of
rows, and the contents of data.) However, note the following limits:
• The maximum of 366-digit data string to be printed are acceptable. However, it cannot actually be
printed, since it cannot be contained within the 2-inch head width.
• If the print ratio of one line (the print head width) is high, printing may become poor, or the printer
may be reset. Be careful about the print ratio.
