PRESCRIBE Command Reference

STAT — STATus
Format
STAT [mode];
Parameter
mode:
0 = prints a user status page (default)
1 = prints a service person status page
Function
The STAT command instructs the printing system to print a page of status information,
starting on a new page. The status page lists the software version and release date as well
as the following information:
• The current unit (inches, centimeters, points, or dots; not available in KPDL mode)
• The current page orientation, font, and country code (not available in KPDL mode)
• Current margins, line spacing, character spacing, and graphics line width, as
measured in the current unit (not available in KPDL mode)
• Current memory allocations
The above status settings are temporary conditions set by PRESCRIBE commands. They
revert to their default values when power is switched off. Other status page information
includes:
• Miscellaneous status: a list of options stored in permanent memory. See Chapter 6 of
the Technical Reference manual for the definitions of the option values. These values
do not change when power is switched off. Only the FRPO command can alter them.
• Service information to inform a service person.
• Nonresident fonts in memory: Fonts generated by the LDFC command,
downloadable soft fonts from software or read from a memory card. Font size and
numbers appear alongside the font name. These fonts are lost when power is
switched off.
Items and values on the status page may vary among the printing system’s firmware ver-
sions.
Depending on the parameters, different information may be printed on the status page.
(There are two types of status pages: one intended for the end user, and one intended for
service personnel.) Also, the printing system can print the status page in different
languages in accordance with the language setting of the printing system’s control panel.
The default is the English status page.
