 [Function]   Transmission of printer status 
 
 [Code]   <1B>H<76>H 
 
 [Outline]    [The specification which is common to the model]  
• Transmits current printer status.  
 
 [Caution]    [The specification which is common to the model]  
• Status is transmitted in 1byte with the content shown in the following table. 
• In case of DTR/DSR control, only 1byte is transmitted after making sure the host is ready for reception (DSR 
signal is in the Space state). In case of XON/XOFF control, only 1byte is transmitted without checking the 
status of DSR signal. 
• In case of DTR/DSR, if the host is not ready for reception (DSR signal in Mark state, wait till reception is 
available. 
• Paper-end status causes BUSY status, thus this command may be in the receive-not-ready status. 
• This command is valid only when MSW3-7 is set to ON.
 
 
Bit  Position 
Bit 2:   In case of Paper End, as this printer goes offline, this command is not executed. 
Therefore, status "No Paper (04H)" is never transmitted. 
 [The specification which depend on the model]  
CT-P29x series/CT-S310 II/CT-D150/CT-E351 
• Bit 0 is set to 00H because Paper-Near  End sensor is not supported.
