Job Request
A Job Request returns status information about the most recently processed
print job. You can send a job request after an ENQ or batch. You can send
two levels of Job Requests:
¨ Numeric Error Codes Only (0, 1, or 2)
¨ Verbose (3 or 4)

Returns ASCII coded strings or
numeric error codes
Returns error number
Returns number of labels printed in batch
Example {J,3}
The job response may not be immediate. If the printer has an error (out of
supplies, ribbon problem, etc.), is in pause mode, or has insufficient
memory, correct the problem and then resend the job request. If the
problem is not corrected, no response is returned. If a formatting error has
occurred, the job request will return the status. The printer must first
interpret the format and batch data before returning the response.
Note: You may need to press FEED/CUT before the job response is
returned.
To clear an error, press ESCAPE/CLEAR. An ENQ can also clear errors
numbered less than 500. Once the error is corrected, a job request can be
sent. The printer cannot accept another job request until the error is
resolved.
