THERMAL RECEIPT PRINTER
6
The printer transmits the status without confirming whether the host computer
can receive data.
The printer executes this command upon receiving it.
This command is executed even when the printer is off-line, the receive buffer
is full, or there is an error status with a serial interface model.
With a parallel interface model, this command can not be executed when the
printer is busy. This command is executed even when the printer is off-line or
there is an error status when DIP switch 2-1 is on with a parallel interface
model.
When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using the
GS a
command, the status
transmitted by the
DLE EOT
command and the ASB status must be
differentiated.
