n
as
follows:
[Notes]
■ ASB (Automatic Status Back) transmits the status such as ink near-end, ink cartridge installed/not installed
automatically to the printer in real-time. It is called [ASB function] and the status is [ASB status]. If you use
ASB, application can acquire the printer change in real-time and passively.
■ Enabling any status (except
n
= 0) starts ink ASB. Then the current ink ASB status is transmitted. After that,
when ASB is active, the selected enabled ink ASB status is transmitted each time the status changes.
■ When
n
= 0, ink ASB is disabled. When ASB is disabled, ink ASB status is not transmitted.
■ If ASB is enabled when the printer is disabled by ESC =, the printer transmits a 4-byte status message
whenever the status changes.
