The invention is directed to a printer. More
particularly, a printer is described wherein the printer
comprises a non-volatile memory data print command
discriminating means which discriminates a control command
relating to printing machine code from other commands sent from
a host machine. The machine code is printed when the
discriminating means discriminates the command relating to
printing.
Representative independent claim 6 is reproduced as
follows:

other commands sent from a host machine, wherein contents of
the machine code data includes initial value data for setting
various operational conditions of the printer; and
non-volatile memory data printing means for printing out
said machine code data recorded in said non-volatile memory
when said non-volatile memory data print command discriminating
means has discriminated said control command relating to
