7197 Series II Owner’s Guide Chapter 6: Commands
August 2011
143
Transmits the selected one byte printer status specified by n in Real Time according to the
following parameters. This command includes two sequences: GS and DLE and using
either or will produce the same result.
 Example:
 MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1D) & Chr$(&H04) & Chr$(n)
Exceptions:
The command is ignored if n is out of range.
An application using the DLE sequence must send EOT within 100 milliseconds of DLE or
the printer will misinterpret the DLE and execute a Clear Printer command. Avoid this
possibility by using the 1D 04 n sequence, which is handled exactly the same as 10 04 n.
