STX Y

Output Sensor Values

This command causes a sensor value response. When <STX>Y is received, the printer will respond
with the digitally converted values of the internal analog sensors (see below). To repeat the display of
values, send the printer a ‘SPACE’ character (20 hexadecimal); or, send <ESC> to terminate this
function.

Non-Display Models: The printer must be in Test Mode for the command to function. To enable the
Test Mode see the <STX>KD command.

Display-Equipped Models: The printer must have Feedback Characters enabled for this command to
function. (Feedback Mode [Characters] can be enabled via command or menu setting; see the
<STX>KcFM command or the Operator’s Manual for additional information).

Syntax:

<STX>Y

Printer response:

Thermistor ADC: 0048 Reflective ADC: 0000
Transmissive ADC: 0204 Paperout ADC: 0000 24 Volt ADC:
0217 Contrast ADC: 0093 TOF Adjust ADC: 0170 Ribbon
ADC: 0125 Battery Level: Good <CR>

Where:

Paperout ADC:

0225

indicates paper is present;

0000

indicates paper is not present.

Battery level:

Good

indicates a sufficient battery charge;

Low

indicates an insufficient charge.

Notes:

Equipped sensors may vary with printer, model, and options.

Some readings require printer-controlled paper movement to produce a meaningful value.

Media Sensor readings require the appropriate sensor selection, transmissive (

<STX>e

)

or

reflective (

<STX>r

)

, and label stock in the Media Sensor.


STX y

Select Font Symbol Set

This command selects the scalable font symbol set. The selected symbol set remains active until
another symbol set is selected. See the <STX>KS command and Appendices E, I, and H for more
information. Option dependant, and not all symbol sets can be used with all fonts.

Syntax:

<STX>ySxx

Where:

S

-

Byte-size designation; see Appendix H:

S

= Single byte symbol sets.

U = Double byte symbol sets.

xx

-

Symbol set selection.

Sample:

<STX>ySPM

The sample selects the PC-850 multilingual set.
