STATUS RESPONSE

The second method of determining printer status is to interrograte the printer with specific commands. The response from these commands will provide specific information about the printer status depending upon the command. This allows the controlling application to determine the status of a printer when it is located in a remote location.

Printer Status (SOH + MG)

Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an ASCII MG causes the printer to return a 30 byte Printer Status Word bounded by an STX-ETXpair that reports the current operating status of the printer.
