1 Off 00H <0> Paper low sensor: paper adequate
On 02H <2> Paper low sensor: paper low
2 Off 00H <0> Journal memory adequate
On 04H <4> Journal memory exhausted.
3 Off 00H <0> Paper out sensor: paper present
On 08H <8> Paper out sensor: paper not present
4 Off 00H <0> Not used; fixed to Off
5,6 - - - Undefined

Table 32 Automatic Status Back (ASB) Fourth Byte (Paper Sensor Information)
Function Transmit Status
ASCII [GS] r <n>
Hexadecimal 1DH 72H <n>
Decimal <29> <114> <n>
Range 1 ≤ n ≤ 2
49 ≤ n ≤ 50
Description The [GS] r <n> command transmits the status specified by <n> as follows: paper
sensor status as one byte of data when <n> = 1 or 49, and drawer kick-out
connector status when <n> = 2 or 50. The paper present status of bits 2 and 3
for the paper sensor status is not transmitted because the printer goes off line
when a paper out is detected by the paper out sensor. The paper roll low sensor
is an option. If the sensor is not installed, bits 0 and 1 for the paper sensor status
are always in the “Paper adequate” status.
Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Status
0 Off 00H <0> Journal Memory adequate
On 01H <1> Journal Memory low (Less than 8K)
1 Off 00H <0> Paper low sensor: paper adequate
On 02H <2> Paper low sensor: paper low
2 Off 00H <0> Journal Memory adequate
On 04H <4> Journal Memory exhausted.
3 Off 00H <0> Paper out sensor: paper present
On 08H <8> Paper out sensor: paper not present
4 Off 00H <0> Not used; fixed to Off
5,6 - - - Undefined
7 Off 00H <0> Not used; fixed to Off
