Appendix G Transmission Status Identification | Epson T88III

Confidential

APPENDIX G: TRANSMISSION STATUS IDENTIFICATION

Because the specified status bits transmitted from the TM-T88IIIseries printer are fixed, the user can confirm the command to which the status belongs, as shown in the following table.

When using Auto Status Back (ASB), however, process the consecutive three-byte code (except for XOFF) as ASB data after confirming the first byte of the ASB. Otherwise, the status transmitted by using the GS r and the status of the second and following bytes of the ASB cannot be differentiated.

Table G.1 Transmission Status Identification
