1. General Information 1.1 Key Terms Real-time commands – These commands are acted on immediately upon being received by the printer (regardless of the printer’s busy or error status). Page mode -- Under this mode, the printer possesses all data in specified memory and thinks of this as a virtual page. The page is printed when the printer receives a print command, either FF or ESC FF. Standard mode – Standard mode is the default mode of printer uses to operate.
2. Kiosk Command Set HT [Name] Horizontal tab. [Format] ASCII HT Hex 09 Decimal 9 [Description] Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position. [Notes] This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set. If this command is received when the printing position is at the end of a line, the printer prints the current line and moves the print position to the beginning of the next line. Horizontal tab positions are set with ESC D.
FF [Name] Print and feed paper. [Format] ASCII FF Hex 0C Decimal 12 [Description] Under page mode, prints the data in the print buffer collectively and returns to standard mode. [Notes] Under standard mode, this command functions the same as a LF command. The buffer data is deleted after being printed. This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
n = 9: Transmit PRST status. n = 10: Reset printer n = 11: Clear printer errors.(function as the clear errors command) [Notes] When n is out of range, the return value is invalid. The printer transmits specified status immediately upon receiving this command Even though the printer is not selected using ESC = (select peripheral device), this command is still effective. The printer transmits the status without confirming whether the host computer can receive data.

c) The status of the first byte and second byte based on printer process status give exact printer status information. For example, “01 04 15 F0” is returned by printer. F0 is synchronous data which cannot be analyzed. 15 : i.e. “10＋05” and “05” means the printer is in PRST retraction process and “10” means that there are error occurring in this process.

4.3.6 Recommendations on applicable flow for programm Make good use of ASB command during programming, since the ASB command is able to automatically transmit printer status messages. Remember to enable the ASB function by using command 1D 61 after the printer is turned on. 1) Inquiry printer status Make sure to send printing data only when the printer is in normal status. We provide all status of printer, at last printer transmits data to print in normal idle status.
