Homelite HL-1450, HL-P2500, 2400C @PJL Ustatus variable = value Crlf, Device variable, Status code

10/10/03

The printer status to be sent to the host computer are ;

•Device status changes - printer cover open, paper jams, paper out, etc

•Job status changes - completion of the printing of a job, receiving a JOB command

•Page status changes - ejecting a printed page

All the unsolicited status information (USTATUS DEVICE, JOB, PAGE and TIMED) is turned off at once by the USTATUSOFF command. Each status can be turned off individually by the corresponding USTATUS command.

The USTATUS TIMED command specifies after which time period the printer sends the unsolicited status information and is turned off by setting the time increment to zero with this command.

To get information about the current settings or possible settings for unsolicited status, use the INFO USTATUS command.

7.6.1.Device variable

The @PJL USTATUS DEVICE command allows the printer to send status messages when the printer status changes. The printer will send the status by the status code shown in the table below.

Status code	Status
10000 - 10999	Status information such as printer on-line or off-line.
11000 - 11999	Status of available paper in paper input sources, such as paper empty and auto-
	switching to another paper source.
20000 - 20999	PJL parser errors. The entire command line of a PJL command is ignored when
	an error (except for code 20004 ) occurs.
25000 - 25999	PJL parser errors. Part of a PJL command is ignored when the error occurs.
27000 - 27999	PJL semantic errors, which means that they are grammatically acceptable but
	cannot be executed. For example, attempting to lock the only unlocked paper
	tray causes this error.
30000 - 30999	Errors which do not stop the printing procedure if the CONTINUE is set to
	AUTO (auto continue mode). If the CONTINUE mode is set to STOP, the
	printer stops printing and goes to off-line status and only resumes when the
	CONTINUE or SEL key are pressed.
