DLE EOT n
[Function] Sending status in real-time
[Code] <10>H<04>H<n>
[Range] 1
n 4
[Outline] Sends in real-time the status specified by “n”.
n = 1: Printer status
n = 2: Status caused by an offline condition
n = 3: Status caused by an error
n = 4: Continuous paper detector status
[Caution] • Each status represents the current status of the printer.
The status is transferred without checking whether the host is
ready to receive or busy.
This command is executed even if the printer is in offline state,
receive-buffer full state, or error state.
This command is dealt with when it is received.
If a data string of <10>H<04>H<n> (1
n 4) is present in the
received data, the printer acts the same way as with this
command. Therefore, the user should be reminded of this fact.
[Example]
ESC * mnL nH [d1 ... dk], where d1 = <10>H, d2 = <04>H,
d3 = <01>H.
If ASB (Automatic Status Back) is enabled by GS a, it is
necessary to discriminate between the status due to ASB and
the status due to this command.
