Decimal <27> <113> <n>
IPCL none
EPOS none
Description The [ESC] q <n> command returns a status to the host when it is
processed.
Response [SOH] <n>
The [ESC] q <n> command may be placed in the print data and, when processed by
the printer, will return a progress status marker. The value of <n> can be any 8-bit
value. It is returned to the host unaltered. The intent is for it to be a sequence
number. The command can be used to track the print progress of the printer or verify
that data has been printed.
Note: The [ESC] q <n> command is a line terminator that causes the printer
to print all previous data. If a normal line terminator like a [CR] is not
supplied, right justify and auto-center do not function correctly. All data is left
justified. [ESC] q does not perform a [CR] or [LF] function.
