. This command is executed when the data in the receive buffer is developed. Therefore,there
may be a time lag between receiving this command and transmitting the status,depending
on the receive buffer status.
. When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using GS a, the status transmitted by GS r and the
ASB status must be differentiated using the table in Appendix G.
. The status types to be transmitted are shown below:
Paper sensor status (n = 1, 49):
Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Status for ASB
Off 00 0 Paper roll near-end sensor: paper adequate. 0,1
On 03 3 Paper roll near-end sensor: paper near end.
Off 00 0 Paper roll end sensor: paper adequate. 2,3
On 0C 12 Paper roll near-end sensor: paper near end.
4 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
5,6 - - - Undefined.
7 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
Bits 2 and 3: When the paper end sensor detects a paper end, the printer goes offline and does
not execute this command. Therefore, bits 2 and 3 do not transmit the status of paper end.
Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Status for ASB
Off 00 0 Drawer kick-out connector pin 3 is LOW. 0
On 01 1 Paper roll near-end sensor: paper near end.
1-3 - - - Undefined.
4 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
5,6 - - - Undefined.
7 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.

[Description] Selects Raster bit-image mode. The value of m selects the mode, as follows:
m Mode Vertical Dot Density Horizontal Dot ensity
0, 48 Normal 200 DPI 200 DPI
1, 49 Double-width 200 DPI 100 DPI
2, 50 Double-height 100 DPI 200 DPI
3, 51 Quadruple 100 DPI 100 DPI
· xL, xH, select the number of data bits ( xL+ xH´256) in the horizontal direction for
the bit image.
