n = 3 : Error status
Bit | Off/On | Hex | Decimal | Function |
0 | Off | 00 | 0 | Not used. Fixed to Off. |
1 | On | 02 | 2 | Not used. Fixed to On. |
2 | Off | 00 | 0 | No mechanical error. |
| On | 04 | 4 | Mechanical error occurred. |
3 | - | - | - | Undefined. |
4 | On | 10 | 16 | Not used. Fixed to On |
6 | Off | 00 | 0 | No |
| On | 40 | 64 | |
7 | Off | 00 | 0 | Not used. Fixed to Off. |
Bit 2:Mechanical errors include home position, carriage sensor, and slip ejection errors.
Bits 2 and 3: If these errors occur due to paper jams or the like, it is possible to recover by correcting the cause of the error and executing DLE ENQ
n (1 ≤ n ≤ 2). If an error due to a circuit failure (e.g. broken wire) occurs, it is impossible to recover.
Bit 6:If the print head temperature becomes high, bit 6 is transmitted until the print head temperature drops sufficiently. The printer automatically recovers from this error.
