Paper roll Paper sensor commands ESC c 3 Ver. 10.01 p. 162
[Notes] This command is enabled only with a parallel interface and is ignored with a serial interface.
The roll paper near-end sensor is enabled when either bit 0 or bit 1 is on or both are on.
The roll paper end sensor is enabled when either bit 2 or bit 3 is on or both are on.
It is possible to select multiple sensors to output signals. When any of the sensors detects a paper-end, the
paper-end signal is output.
When all sensors are disabled, the paper-end signal is always paper present.
Some sensors are not present, depending on the printer model.
The names of some sensors differ, depending on the printer model.
The settings of this command are effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is
turned off.
