DLE EOT n

[Function]

Sending status in real-time

[Code]

<10>H<04>H<n>

[Range]

1 n 4

[Outline]

Sends in real-time the status specified by “n”.

 

n = 1: Printer status

 

n = 2: Status caused by an offline condition

 

n = 3: Status caused by an error

 

n = 4: Continuous paper detector status

[Caution]

• Each status represents the current status of the printer.

 

• The status is transferred without checking whether the host is

 

ready to receive or busy.

 

• This command is executed even if the printer is in offline state,

 

receive-buffer full state, or error state.

 

• This command is dealt with when it is received.

 

• If a data string of <10>H<04>H<n> (1 n 4) is present in the

 

received data, the printer acts the same way as with this

 

command. Therefore, the user should be reminded of this fact.

 

[Example]

 

ESC * mnL nH [d1 ... dk], where d1 = <10>H, d2 = <04>H,

 

d3 = <01>H.

 

• If ASB (Automatic Status Back) is enabled by GS a, it is

 

necessary to discriminate between the status due to ASB and

 

the status due to this command.
