7197 Series II Owner’s Guide Chapter 6: Commands
August 2011
135
Transmits the status specified by n. This is a batch mode command which transmits the
response after all prior data in the receive buffer has been processed. There may be a time
lag between the printer receiving this command and transmitting the response, depending
on the receive buffer status.
When DTR/DSR RS232C communications handshaking control is selected, the printer
transmits the one byte response only when the host signal DSR indicates it is ready to
receive data.
When XON/XOFF RS232C communications handshaking control is selected, the printer
transmits the one byte response regardless of the host signal DSR.
The status bytes to be transmitted are described in the following four tables.
