 NOTES: 1.  Item from (2) through (10) are initialized to “0” after RAM clear. 
  
2.  If the print distance is 8.2m or less (B-SX4T) or 5.5m or less (B-SX5T), it is rounded 
down and no data is added to the memory at power off.
 
  
3.  If the count is 31 or less, it is rounded down and no data is added to the memory at 
power off.
 
  
4.  If the driving time is 32 sec. or less (B-SX4T) or 27sec. or less (B-SX5T), it is rounded 
down and no data is added to the memory at power off.
 
  
5.  When a sent command results in an error, the same number as the data capacity of the 
command is counted by byte. 
    6.  If the media distance covered is 50.0 cm or less, it is rounded down and no data is 
added to the memory at power off.

value to “X.2mm” and “X.3mm” will become the same result.  Therefore, “X.3mm” will be 
printed regardless of “X.2 mm” settings.  In the same way, “X.7mm” setting will be printed as 
“X.8mm”.
