Printing example.
Printing Operation
Sensors and printing operation
The ESC c 4 command can be used to select whether the printer should stop or continue printing
when the “no paper” condition is detected. The following sensors are involved:
Two-sheet mode: Journal near-end sensor
Receipt near-end sensor
Journal paper sensor (*1)
Receipt paper sensor (*1)
Slip paper mode: Slip paper insert sensor
(*1) The journal and receipt paper roll sensors are used for auto-loading and cannot be used for
paper-end detection. Printing may not be stopped even if the sensors are selected by ESC c
4. Therefore, use the near-end sensors to detect the paper roll end.
When “stop printing” is selected
❏ Two-sheet mode
When the “no paper” condition is detected, the printer automatically goes off-line. To resume
printing, close the cover after inserting a new paper roll.
❏ Slip paper mode
When the “no paper” condition is detected, the printer continues to print on the printable area,
ejects the paper, and waits for the paper to be removed. The printer then stands by for paper
insertion.
Buffer full printing
After the maximum number of characters per line has been received and processed, the line is
printed and the paper is advanced automatically when additional data is received.
