Description The [GS] r <n> command transmits the status specified by <n> as follows: paper sensor status as
one byte of data when <n> = 1 or 49, and drawer kick-out connector status when <n> = 2 or 50.
The paper present status of bits 2 and 3 for the paper sensor status is not transmitted because the
printer goes off line when a paper out is detected by the paper out sensor. The paper roll low
sensor is an option. If the sensor is not installed, bits 0 and 1 for the paper sensor status are always
in the ―Paper adequate‖ status.
