Epson TM-T85 Printer User Manual


 
5-48 Commands
[Notes] If any of the status items in the table above are enabled, the printer
transmits the status when this command is executed. The printer
automatically transmits the status whenever the enabled status
item changes. The disabled status items may change, in this case,
because each status transmission represents the current status.
If all status items are disabled, the ASB function is also disabled.
The following four status bytes are transmitted without
confirming whether the host is ready to receive data. The four
status bytes must be consecutive, except for the XOFF code.
Since this command is executed sfter the data is processed in the
receive buffer, there may be a time lag between data reception and
status transmission.
When the printer is disabled by ESC =, this command is disabled
but ASB is not disabled.
When using DLE EOT, ESC u, ESC v, GS I, or GS r, the status
transmitted by these commands and ASB status must be
differentiated.
• The status to be transmitted are as follows:
