for the code to go on-line again. CHR$(l9) is the code to turn
SD- 10/l 5 off-line; CHR$( 17) returns SD- 10/l 5 to on-line status.
n Printing to the bottom of the sheet
Sometimes when you are using individual sheets of paper you
may want to print near the bottom of a sheet. The paper-out
detector usually stops SD- IO/l 5 when you are about 2 % inches
from the bottom of the sheet. This is to notify you if you are
running out of continuous paper.
SD-lo/l5 has the ability to print right to the bottom of the
sheet. You can disable the paper-out detector so that it doesn’t
stop the printer. This will allow you to print to the end of the
sheet, and even beyond if you are not careful. The codes to control
the paper-out detector, along with the other codes that we have
just learned are in the following table.
