If any of the status items listed above are selected, ASB is enabled and the printer
automatically transmits 4 status bytes whenever the selected status changes. If no status is
selected, ASB is disabled. All four status bytes are transmitted without checking DSR.
If the error status is enabled, a change in the following conditions will trigger the ASB:
• Receipt Cover
• Knife Error
• Out-of-Range Printhead Temperature
• Out-of-Range Voltage
• Paper Exhaust
When the printer is disabled by the Select Peripheral Device command (1B 3D), this
command (Enable/Disable Automatic Status Back) is disabled but Automatic Status Back
is not disabled.
When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using this command, the status transmitted by
other commands and the ASB status be differentiated according to the information found
in “Recognizing Data from the Printer,” (in the “Real Time Commands” section later in this
chapter). The status bytes to be transmitted are described in the following four tables.
