Paper roll Paper sensor commands ESC c 3
Ver. 10.01 p. 162
[Notes]
■ This command is enabled only with a parallel interface and is ignored with a serial interface.
■ The roll paper near-end sensor is enabled when either bit 0 or bit 1 is on or both are on.
■ The roll paper end sensor is enabled when either bit 2 or bit 3 is on or both are on.
■ It is possible to select multiple sensors to output signals. When any of the sensors detects a paper-end, the
paper-end signal is output.
■ When all sensors are disabled, the paper-end signal is always paper present.
■ Some sensors are not present, depending on the printer model.
■ The names of some sensors differ, depending on the printer model.
■ The settings of this command are effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is
turned off.
