Real Time Request to Printer
The printer responds to a request from the host specified by n. This command includes two sequences: GS and DLE. The operations performed depend on the value of n, according to the following parameters.
| GS Sequence | DLE Sequence | |
ASCII | GS ETX n | DLE ENQ n | |
Hexadecimal | 1D 03 n | 10 05 n | |
Decimal | 29 3 n | 16 5 n | |
Value of n | 1 | = recover and restart |
|
| 2 | = recover and clear buffers | |
n = 1
Restarts printing from the beginning of the line where an error occurred, after recovering from the error. Print settings that are normally preserved from line to line, such as character height and width, are still preserved with this command. This sequence is ignored except when the printer is busy due to an error condition.
This command will attempt recovery from a knife error. Other errors associated with the receipt, such as paper out or printhead overheating, can be recovered from only by clearing the specific condition, such as loading paper or letting the printhead cool down.
n = 2
Recovers from an error after clearing the receive and print buffers. Print settings that are normally preserved from line to line, such as character height and width, are still preserved with this command. This sequence is ignored except when the printer is busy due to an error condition.
The same error recovery possibilities exist as for n = 1.
Exceptions
The command is ignored if n is out of range.
