Real Time Status Transmission
Transmits the selected one byte printer status specified by n in Real Time according to the
following parameters.
GS Sequence
Hexadecimal Decimal ASCII Value of n
1D 04 n 29 4 n GS EOT n
1 = Transmit printer status
2 = Transmit RS-232C busy status
3 = Transmit error status
4 = Transmit receipt paper status
The command is ignored if n is out of range.
DLE Sequence
Hexadecimal Decimal ASCII Value of n
10 04 n 16 4 n DLE EOT n
1 = Transmit printer status
2 = Transmit RS-232C busy status
3 = Transmit error status
4 = Transmit receipt paper status
5 = Transmit slip paper status
The command is ignored if n is out of range.
Note: An application using the DLE sequence must send EOT within 100
milliseconds of DLE or the printer will misinterpret the DLE and execute a
Clear Printer command. Avoid this possibility by using the GS EOT n
sequence which is handled exactly the same as DLE EOT n.
