Enable Alternate Error Reporting

Description Use this command to enable the printer’s status alternate reporting feature.
Serial Port
If an error occurs, the printer will send a NACK(0x15), followed by the error number,
to the computer.
If no errors occur, the printer will echo ACK(0x6) after last line of the current label
has been rasterized.
The printer will send a DLE(0x10) when the label is dispensed.
If paper or ribbon empty occurs, the printer will send, through the serial port, a ”-07”,
“Pnnn” where nnn is the number of labels remaining to print. (Same as US1
command)
The UT command (when compared to the US1 command) then adds a "Lyyyyy" to
the end, where yyyyy is the number of unprinted raster lines. (07PnnnLyyyyy)
Parallel Port
If an error occurs, the printer will print the error number and the printer’s indicator(s)
LED will indicate an error condition. See the individual printer’s user manual for
details.
Mobile Printers Only (TR220)
Additionally enables command error reporting via printer’s status indicator. The
indicator is turned off by default for this printer only.
