DLE EOT n
[Function] Sending status in real-time
[Code] <10>H<04>H<n>
[Range] 1 n 4
[Outline] Sends in real-time the status specified by “n”.
n = 1: Printer status
n = 2: Status caused by an offline condition
n = 3: Status caused by an error
n = 4: Continuous paper detector status
[Caution] • Each status represents the current status of the printer.
• The status is transferred without checking whether the host is
ready to receive or busy.
• This command is executed even if the printer is in offline state,
receive-buffer full state, or error state.
• This command is dealt with when it is received.
• If a data string of <10>H<04>H<n> (1 n 4) is present in the
received data, the printer acts the same way as with this
command. Therefore, the user should be reminded of this fact.
[Example]
ESC * mnL nH [d1 ... dk], where d1 = <10>H, d2 = <04>H,
d3 = <01>H.
• If ASB (Automatic Status Back) is enabled by GS a, it is
necessary to discriminate between the status due to ASB and
the status due to this command.
