[Details] · If any of the status items in the table above are enabled, the printer transmits the status
when
this command is executed. The printer automatically transmits the status whenever the
enabled status item changes. The disabled status items may change, in this case,
because each status transmission represents the current status.
· If all status items are disabled, the ASB function is also disabled.
· If the ASB is enabled as a default, the printer transmits the status when the printer data
reception and transmission is possible at the first time from when the printer is turned on.
· The following four status bytes are transmitted without confirming whether the host is
ready to
receive data. The four status bytes must be consecutive, except for the XOFF code.
· Since this command is executed after the data is processed in the receive buffer, there
may be a time lag between data reception and status transmission.
· When the printer is disabled by ESC = (Select peripheral device), the four status bytes are
transmitted whenever the status changes.
· When using DLE EOT, GS I, or GS r, the status transmitted by these commands and ASB
status must be differentiated, according to the procedure in Appendix G, Transmission
Status
Identification.
