SOH B Toggle Pause
This command toggles the printer’s paused state between “On” and “Off.” (This is the
same function achieved by pressing the PAUSE Key.)
Syntax:
<SOH>B
Sample:
<SOH>B
Printer Response: This command will illuminate the Paused/Stop Indicator and/or
indicate PAUSED on the LCD or graphics display panel, suspend
printing, and wait until one of the following occurs:
• The <SOH>B command is sent to the printer.
• The PAUSE Key is pressed.
Upon which the printer will turn the Paused/Stop Indicator “Off”
and/or remove PAUSED from the LCD or graphics display, then
resume operation from the point of interruption. (If the Receive
Buffer is not full, an <XON> character will be transmitted from
the printer.)
