Transmitting the printer status

<1B> H <76> H

• Current printer status is transmitted.

• Status sent out consists of 1 byte whose content is as in

the table below.

• In DTR/DSR control, after receive-enable state of the host

(DSR signal being in SPACE state) is confirmed, only 1 byte

is transmitted. In XON/XOFF control, DSR signal state not

being confirmed, only 1 byte is transmitted.

• In DTR/DSR control, when the host is not in a receive-

enable state (DSR signal being in MARK state), it waits until

receptible state is created.

• In paper end (paper near end) status, this command may

be unreceptible state due to BUSY state.

• This command is valid only for serial interface model.
