OUTLINE

Transmits ENQ status

<ENQ>

(05)H

Transmits the ENQ status of the printer to the host in real-time.

(Does not execute after taking fro reception buffer, but immedi- ately upon receiving from the host.) It is in a “Data ready” state when using a bi-directional parallel interface.

•When one <ENQ> command is sent to the printer, it will not send the next <ENQ> command until the ENQ status is received.

•When using the <ENQ> command, always set the automatic status function to invalid.

ENQ Status

Bit 0: Parallel Error (*1)

1: Error

Bit 1: Framing Error (*1)

1: Error

Bit 2: Mechanical Error

1: Error

Bit 3: No Paper Error (Same as EOT Bit 3)

1: Error

Bit 5: Buffer Empty (*1)

1: Buffer "Empty

Bit 6: Buffer Overflow

Bit 7: Compulsion SW (*2)

*1: Bit 0 and Bit 1 are valid only with a serial interface. Bit0 = Bit1= 0 when using a parallel interface.

*2: Compulsion Switch

When the pin No. 6 on the connector for external device drive circuit is HIGH (Switch ON), Bit 7 = 1.
