GS r n transmits the status specified by n as follows: paper sensor status as 1 byte of data when n=1 or 49,
and drawer kick-out connector status when n=2 or 50. The paper present status of bits 2 and 3 for the paper
sensor status is not transmitted because the printer goes off-line when a paper-end is detected by the
paper-end sensor. The paper roll near-end sensor is an option; if the sensor is not installed, bits 0 and 1 for
the paper sensor status are always in the “Paper Adequate” status.
Paper sensor status (n=1, 49)
