If mechanical error (bit 2) or auto-cutter error (bit 3) occurs due to paper jams or the like, it
is possible to recover by correcting a cause of the error and executing
DLE ENQ
. But if an
error due to a circuit failure (e.g. wire break) occurs, it is impossible to recover.
•
Printing is stopped while automatically recoverable error (bit 6) occurs.
•
If an unrecoverable error (bit 5) occurs, turn off the power as soon as possible.
