OWNLOAD TO ACTIVE FLASH SECTOR
Contains a start address (ah x 256 + al) and count (ch x 256 + cl) of binary bytes to load into the selected
sector, followed by that many bytes.
The start address is relative to the start of the sector. Addresses run from 0 to 64K.
The printer may return one of several responses. ACK means that the data was written correctly and the
host should transmit the next block. NAK means that, for some reason, the data was not written correctly.
This could mean that communications failed or that the write to flash failed.
The alternatives seem to be to retry the block or halt loading and assume a hardware failure.

Value of ch
= high byte of the count (it is sent after the low byte)
Value of d
