Immediate Commands
You can use Immediate commands to query the printer about the status of
the printer and any print jobs, to abort print jobs, to request error
conditions, and to reset the printer.
Unlike other commands that the printer stores in the data buffer and
executes in the order received, the printer executes immediate commands
when it receives them, regardless of printer mode.
For help downloading Immediate commands to the printer, see “Sending
IPL Commands to the Printer” in Chapter 1.
Abort Print Job
Purpose: Stops batch printing.
Syntax: <EM>
Notes: The printer stops the current batch print job. The batch quantity count is
reset to the original setting. The printer continues to execute other
commands remaining in the buffer.
Error Code, Request
Purpose: Solicits error codes from the printer.
Syntax: <BEL>
Notes: The printer sends back the most recent error code as an ASCII number.
The error code represents a command syntax error or a printer RAM usage
error.
If no errors have occurred since the printer was turned on, the printer
sends a zero. It also resets the error code to 00.
See Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” for a list of error codes.
