DLE EOT n
[Name] Real-time status transmission
[Format] ASCII DLE EOT n
Hex 10 04 n
Decimal 16 4 n
[Range] 1 ≤ n ≤ 4
[Description] Transmits the selected printer status specified by n in real
time, according to the following parameters:
n = 1: Transmit printer status
n = 2: Transmit off-line status
n = 3: Transmit error status
n = 4: Transmit paper roll sensor status
[Notes]
•
This command should not be used within the data sequence of another
command that consists of 2 or more bytes. For example, If you attempt to
transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host computer) goes
to MARK before n is transmitted and then DLE EOT 3 interrupts before n
is received, the code <10>H for DLE EOT 3 is processed as the code for
ESC 3
<10>H.
