(66)Sending of the status (GS r n)
Code: [1D] h + [72] h + n
*(1 ≤ n ≤ 2)
(31 ≤ n ≤ 32) Data are expressed in Hex code.
This commands sends the specified status. n = 1, 31: Sends the paper sensor status.
n = 2, 32: Sends the drawer kick connector status.
•When the printer has Serial interface specifications:
In the case of DTR/DSR Control: After confirming that the host computer is ready to receive, the status is sent. If it is impossible for the host to receive, waiting continues until it is possible for it to receive.
In the case of XON/OFF Control: The printer sends the status without confirming if it is possible or impossible for the host com- puter to receive.
•This command is executed during development of the receiving buffer, so if a command is received in accordance with the receiving buffer's state, there is a possibility of a delay occurring while the status is being sent.
•If ASB is enabled by GS a, it is necessary to distinguish between the status from this command and the status from ASB. See pages 50~53 for the identification method.
