IBM TI5 Status Sent to System, Select Character for Reprinted Lines, Reinitialize the Printer

updated March 18, 2002

This value is stored in the EEPROM in the printer so that it is not lost when the printer is reset.

Status Sent to System

RS-232 Syntax:

ESC ) n or X'1B29;n'

where:

nSelect function.

Bit # ↓	Function	Bit=0	Bit=1
LSB 0	Print Buffer Empty/Full	Yes	No
1	Reserved	Yes	No
2	Front Document Sensor Change	Yes	No
3	Top Document Sensor Change	Yes	No
4	After status byte 6 is incremented or	Yes	No
	status byte 3, bit 7, is set
5	Cash Draw Sensor Change	Yes	No
6	Key In Use	Yes	No
7	Cover Open	Yes	No

Remarks:

Bit 4 can be used in place of the Command Complete. When the buffer is empty, the system can assume that everything stored in the printer has been completed. To enable these status messages, unsolicited status must be enabled. See “Asynchronous (Real-Time) Commands” on page 155.

Select Character for Reprinted Lines

RS-232 Syntax:

ESC + n or X'1B2B;n'

where:

nThe ASCII representation of the character printed in the first character position on the print line when recovering from a home error. This occurs in impact print stations only.

Default:

n = X'2A' (This is an asterisk (*) in most code pages.)

Remarks:

The value is stored in EEPROM to prevent loss when the printer is reset.

The default value after the reset is the value last sent.

Reinitialize the Printer

RS-232 Syntax:

ESC @ or X'1B40'

Purpose:

Reinitialize all printer settings to their default values and reset the impact printhead.

Remarks:

Commands in the print buffer are not lost when this command is issued.

The settings that are reinitialized follow (all numbers are in hex):
