[Name] Real-time status transmission

[Range] 1 £

[Description] Transmits the selected printer status specified by
n
in real time, according to the
following parameters:
n
= 1: Transmit printer status
n
= 2: Transmit off-line status
n
= 3: Transmit error status
n
= 4: Transmit paper roll sensor status
n
= 5: Transmit slip paper status
[Notes] · The status is transmitted whenever the data sequence of <10>H<04>H<
n
>
(1 £

Example:
In
ESC

d2

d3

· This command should not be used within the data sequence of another
command that consists of 2 or more bytes.
Example:
If you attempt to transmit
ESC 3
n
to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host
computer) goes to MARK before
n
is transmitted and then
DLE EOT 3
interrupts before
n
is received, the code <10>H for
DLE EOT 3
is processed
as the code for
ESC 3 <
10>H.
· The printer transmits the current status. Each status is represented by one-
byte data.
· The printer transmits the status without confirming whether the host computer
can receive data.
· This command is executed even when the printer is off-line, the receive buffer
is full, or there is an error status with a serial interface model.
· With a parallel interface model, this command can not be executed when the
printer is busy. This command is executed even when the printer is off-line or
there is an error status when DIP switch 2-1 is on with a parallel interface
model.
· The printer executes this command upon receiving it.
· When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using the
GS a
command, the status
transmitted by the
DLE EOT
command and the ASB status must be
differentiated.
· This command is effective even if the printer is not selected by set peripheral
device command,
