[Notes]
ASB is the function that transmit the status of [cover open/close], [Online/Offline] from the printer
automatically. It is called [ASB function] and the status is [ASB status]. If you use ASB, application can
acquire the printer change in a real-time and passively.
Select any status enabled (except
n
= 0) and basic ASB starts. Then transmit the current basic ASB status.
After that, while ASB is active the selected enabled basic ASB status is transmitted whenever the status
changes.
When
n
= 0, basic ASB is disabled. When ASB is disabled, basic ASB status is not transmitted.
Multiple status items can be selected.
When ASB is active, ASB status is transmitted whenever the status changes even if ESC = is not selected.
This command setting is effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset or power is turned off.
During Block data [header - NUL] transmission, ASB is disabled temporarily. Therefore you cannot get the
printer status change through ASB status when block data [header - NUL] is transmitted.
Any basic ASB status represents the enabled status whenever the status changes. Therefore the disabled
status items may change, because each status transmission represents the current status.
