PP6000 Command Details - Page 4
8. The status is transmitted whenever the data sequence of <10>h <04>h <n> (1≤ n
≤ 4) is received even when this sequence is in fact part of data in other command.
However, that command containing this data sequence still works when it takes its
turn in printer processing queue.
Example: In ESC * m nL nH d1…dk, d1=<10>h, d2=<04>h, d3=<01>h
9. This command should not be used when the printer is processing data sequence of
another command that consists of 2 or more bytes.
Example:
If the printer is going to execute {ESC} 3 n by retrieving it from input buffer,
DTR (DSR for the host computer) goes to MARK (busy) before n is retrieved, but
{DLE} {ENQ} 2 interrupts before n is retrieved from input buffer, the code
<10>H for {DEL} {ENQ} 2 is processed as the code for {ESC} 3 <10>h.
10. When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled by using the {GS} a command, the
status transmitted by the {DLE} {EOT} command and the ASB status must be
differentiated.
11. Status responses from the printer are regulated in tables below as defined by value
of n.
