7197 Series II Owner’s Guide Chapter 6: Commands
August 2011
138
The printer returns the print completion response when it finishes printing the data sent
before this command. The printable data sent before this command is identified by the
parameter of this command. This command specifies ID for print data sent before this
command. And the printer returns the print completion status with ID. Therefore a host
can know which data was completed.
If the printer returns the 0x66 .as the first byte response, it means the printer cannot print
data due to an error condition. In this case, the printer erases all printable data.
Also the printer does not return any response for the remaining Get print completion
commands once it returns the error status for this command when it retains the plural Get
print completion commands. In other words, the printer erases not only the print data but
also the retained Get print completion commands in the printer when an error response is
returned.
If the printer receives this command when it retains printable data, it starts printing by
force like receiving LF+CR.
Exception:
If the printer powered OFF during the transaction then after the power on the printer will
respond (0xAA 0x00) to the PFM message.
<Limitation>
1) This command is available when “Receipt Synchronization” setting is “Enabled
(mode3)”.
2) This command is effective in RS232c interface mode only.
3) This command is effective in the line mode. It is ignored in the page mode.
Recognizing Data from the Printer
An application sending various Real Time and non-Real Time commands to which the
printer responds can determine which command a response belongs to by the table below.
Responses to Transmit Peripheral Device Status (1B 75) and Transmit Paper Sensor Status
(1B 76) are non-Real Time responses and will arrive in the order in which they were
solicited.
