when automatic line feed is disabled, this command is ignored.
2. Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.
3. This command is ignored in a serial interface model.
4. This command is set according to the DIP switch position 7 of SW 1 is set to On
with a parallel interface model.
CODES (HEX/CONTROL): <10> <04> <n> / {DLE} {EOT} n
NAME: Real-time status transmission
FUNCTION: Transmits the selected printer status in real time
RNAGE: 1 ≤ n ≤ 4
EXPLANATION:
1. The parameter n specifies content group of printer status to be transmitted as
below.
n = 1: Transmit printer status
n = 2: Transmit off-line status
n = 3: Transmit error status
n = 4: Transmit paper sensor status
2. The printer transmits the current status as specified by n. Each status is
represented by one-byte data.
3. If the value of n is out of the specified range (1≤ n ≤ 4), This command is ignored.
4. The printer transmits the status regardless of the handshaking condition of the host
computer.
5. The printer executes this command upon receiving it regardless of unprocessed
data in receive buffer.
6. This command executes with a serial interface model even when the printer is off-
line, when the receive buffer is full, or when there is an error status.
7. With a parallel interface model, when DIP switch position 4 (or 1 - 4) is set to
OFF this command can only be executed when the printer is under normal status
(on line, no error, not busy). When DIP switch position 4 (or 1 – 4) is set to ON,
this command can not be executed when the printer is busy but can be executed
when the printer is off-line or there is an error status.
