Status reporting commands

See also Status Reporting on page 69.

Note • All status commands are immediate, that is they pass the print queue and are answered directly.

ESC ENQ 1		Status Enquiry
1B 05 01	hex
27 5 1	decimal

A status enquiry results in response ACK (6) if all sensors are clear, but NAK (15) + code if one or more sensors report some condition.

	Table 8 • Status Codes
Status Code	Meaning
ACK	OK (printer is operable)
NAK 1	Paper left in presenter module. Attempt to clear the paper path failed.
NAK 2	Cutter jammed
NAK 3	Out of paper
NAK 4	Printhead lifted
NAK 5	Paper-feed error. No paper detected in presenter although 10 cm has been
	printed. Paper might be wound around the platen or, in some way, has been
	forced above the presenter module.
NAK 6	Temperature error. The printhead temperature has exceeded the 60 °C
	maximum limit.
NAK 7	Presenter not running (no feedback from code wheel)
NAK 0A	Black mark not found
NAK 0B	Black mark calibration error
NAK 0C	Index error
NAK 0D	Checksum error
NAK 0E	Wrong firmware type or target for firmware loading
NAK 0F	Firmware cannot start because no firmware is loaded or firmware
	checksum is wrong.
NAK 10	Waste bin timed out. If the customer doesn’t take the paper and the printer
	clears the presenter due to a timeout, the pending error bit is set and status
	code NAK 16 is reported.
NAK FF	Undefined error

Note • Errors 2, 5, and FF are terminal faults that require you to reset the printer before it will be operable again. The printer automatically recovers from the other conditions as soon as the cause is corrected.

A status enquiry command can only return one status code at a time. If there are two or more simultaneous conditions, each condition should be cleared and the status enquiry repeated in order to get a complete report of all status codes.
