13.1. Configuration of the Status Channel
The firmware function "Status Out" provides the possibility to get
information on the printer status (paper jam, offline, out of paper, ...) and
on the print job process (idle, busy, page printed,...) from the printer.
This function was developed to get more detailed printer information during
the print process.
The status messages are sent to the host via the current interface or a
separate status channel which is independent of the data channel.
For this status channel the serial interface (USB) of the printer is used, for
example.
Two modes are available. In the first one some messages will be sent
automatically, within the second mode you may "ask" the printer via IDOL
commands about the current status.
13.1.1. Status Messages automatically or on Request
A keycode will be needed to get access to the Status Out function (Option).
With this keycode release the second mode asking for printer status via
IDOL commands will be always active.
For the automatical generation of status messages you have to set one bit in
the EEPROM sequence:
Word 23 Bit 13 (Panel: Config 23, 2/5)
Bit 13 = 0 : Mode 1, messages will be sent to the host automatically and
after a request.
Bit 13 = 1 : Mode 2, messages will be sent after a request only
.
Please use the IDOL command <ESC><ESC>ee for setting the bit 13.
