Epson TM-T88 Information Manual

1-20 Command Descriptions Rev. A
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
ESC c 4 n selects whether to stop printing or not when the paper near end is detected. The paper roll
near-end sensor is enabled when either bit 0 or bit 1 is on. When a paper near-end is detected,
printing stops after printing the current line. The printer goes off-line after printing stops. The
default setting is n=0. If the paper roll near-end sensor is disabled and a paper near-end is detected,
printing does not stop. The printer does not go off-line, and the PAPER OUT LED comes on. Paper
roll end sensor is always enabled and it detects a paper end, the printer stops printing.
The paper sensor(s) used to stop printing are selected by using n as follows:
ESC c 3 n
[Name] Select paper sensor(s) to output paper-end signals
[Format] ASCII ESC c 3 n
Hex 1B 63 33 n
Decimal279951n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
ESC c 3 n selects whether to output paper-end signals or not to a parallel interface. The default value
is to enable the paper roll near-end and paper roll end sensors (n=15).
When both of these sensors are selected to output signals and either one detects a paper-end, the
paper-end signal is output. When all sensors are disabled, and a paper end is detected, status is
always a paper present. The paper roll near-end sensor is enabled when either bit 0 or bit 1 or both is
on. The paper roll end sensor is enabled when either 2 or 3 or both bits is on. This command is
enabled only with a parallel interface and is ignored with a serial interface.
The paper sensor(s) used to output paper-end signals are selected by using n as follows:
Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Function

Off 00 0 Paper roll near-end sensor disabled.
On 01 1 Paper roll near-end sensor enabled.
