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.

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.

Equipped sensors vary with printer, model, and options;

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

value; and,

Media Sensor readings require the appropriate sensor selection, transmissive

(<STX>e

) or reflective (<STX>r), and label stock placed in the 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 dependent 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 above selects the PC-850 multilingual set.
