Chapter 7. Status Polling

Job Request ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

A Job Request returns status information about the most recently processed print job. You can send a job request after an ENQ or batch. You can send two levels of Job Requests:

✦Numeric Error Codes Only (0, 1, or 2)

✦Verbose (3 or 4)

Syntax {J,#}

Field Type	Valid Options	Description
Identifier	J	Job Status Request
request#	0	Returns ASCII coded strings or
	1	numeric error codes

2

3Returns error number

4Returns number of labels printed in batch

Example {J,3}

The job response may not be immediate. If the printer has an error (out of supplies, ribbon problem, etc.), is in pause mode, or has insufficient memory, correct the problem and then resend the job request. If the problem is not corrected, no response is returned. If a formatting error has occurred, the job request will return the status. The printer must first interpret the format and batch data before returning the response.

To clear an error, press the trigger (or E depending on your printer). An ENQ can also clear errors numbered less than 500. Once the error is corrected, a job request can be sent. The printer cannot accept another job request until the error is resolved.
