WHAT THE AUTOLOADER RETURNS

Page Code – Byte 02, Bits 5 through 0

This field allows you to specify which page the autoloader should return.

Specify one of the following values:

1Dh – Element Address Assignment page

1Eh – Transport Geometry Descriptor page

1Fh – Device Capabilities page

21h – Unique Properties page

22h – LCD Mode page

25h – Cleaning Configuration Page

26h – Operating Mode Page

3Fh – All pages (in the above order)

Allocation Length – Byte 04

This field allows you to specify the length of the parameter list the autoloader

will return. The maximum length you need to specify to receive all pages is

98 (62h) bytes. The autoloader terminates the data in phase when the number

of bytes specified by the Allocation Length have been transferred or when all

available MODE SENSE data have been transferred to the initiator, whichever

is less.

10.3 WHAT THE AUTOLOADER RETURNS

This section describes the mode data page structure and the pages that the

autoloader supports. The MODE SENSE command returns the single mode

data page specified in the Page Code field of the CDB. Each mode data page

begins with a four-byte parameter list header, followed by zero or more

variable-length mode data parameters defined for the specified page.

10.3.1 PARAMETER LIST HEADER

Mode Data Length – Byte 00

This field indicates the number of bytes of parameter information the

autoloader is returning as a result of this command, excluding the Mode Data

Length byte, but including the three additional Parameter List Header bytes.
