Entity Status Responses
The status response to the inquire status readback entity command is varied.
The status response depends on the type of the requested entity.
• Font Response
When the value of the inquire entity is 0 (font), the printer will send the status
response information with keywords. The keywords are different depending on
bitmap, unbound scalable or bound scalable font.
The keywords include the followings;
SELECT= SYMBOL SETS= LOCTYPE= LOCUNIT=
Response example:
(Readback commands)
Location Type (ESC “*s#T”) #=1
Location Unit (ESC “*s#U”) #=0
Entity (ESC “*s#I”) #=0
(Response)
INFO FONTS
SELECT=“<Esc>(8U<Esc>(s0p10.00h0s0b4099T”
LOCTYPE=3
LOCUNIT=1
The information after “SELECT=” shows the selected font. The information after
“LOCTYPE=” shows the font's location type. (See “Set Status Readback
Location Type Command”.)
The information after “LOCUNIT=” shows the font's location unit. (See “Set
Status Readback Location Unit Command”.)
The response example above indicates the currently selected font is a built-in
font; Courier, fixed spacing and 10.00 pitch.
