When the printer receives a reset command, the printer goes off-line and/or busy until
the reset completes.
If the host application continues to send information to the printer after a reset
command, some of that information may be processed before the reset is processed.
After the reset the transport is cleared. If it cannot be cleared a jam status may be
issued.
Note: If reset inhibit is set in the configuration menu, this command is ignored.
[ENQ] <11> Inquire power cycle status
ASCII [ENQ] <11>
Hexadecimal 05H 0BH
Decimal <5> <11>
Function Has the printer been power cycled since the last request?
Response ACK <11> (06H 0BH)
Printer has been power cycled since the last [ENQ] <11>
NAK <5> (15H 0BH)
Printer has not power cycled since the last [ENQ] <11>
Description The first time after a reset, the command returns [ACK] <11>, after that
the command returns [NAK] <11>. The command allows the application to determine
if the printer has been power cycled and needs to be reinitialized. The [ENQ] <10>
command and the INIT signal on the parallel port both cause the printer to return
power up status.
[ENQ] <14> Inquire Mechanical error status
ASCII [ENQ] <14>
Hexadecimal 05H 0EH
Decimal <5> <14>
Function Error status
Response ACK <14> (06H 0EH) No mechanical errors
NAK <15> (15H 0FH) Mechanical error has occurred
(Use [ENQ]<22> to identify the error)
Note: For this status request to function, the "Buffer Full Only" off-line option
should be selected.
