V Command - Check Printer Type/Version
Description This command serves to check the model (and op
-
tions) of a printer. Serial port connected printers re
-
spond with a model number and firmware version.
Parallel port connected printers respond with
NACK when the ‘V’ command parameter received
does not match the configuration. A matching
printer parameter code produces an ACK response.
Note that parallel-connected color printers do not
report firmware and model. For this information,
use the “A” command.
