3 Programming Process Guide

Because the different printing status and error can be returned by Auto Status Back (ASB) command, it

is recommended that you can use ASB command to inquire status. ASB command is effective when

powering on the printer and can be directly sent to inquire the status.

The recommended command programming process is shown as below:

1) Inquire the printer status

Make sure that the printer status is normal before sending data to print.

2) Intitialize the printer

Make sure that the previous setting does not affect the current printing.

3) Set the print content

Set character property/bitmap property/barcode property, etc. of the print content so as to get the desired

print effect.

4) Send the data to be printed (including the setting command before printing)

If the data to be printed is bitmap data, please do not send the status inquiry command when sending

printing data.

5) Inquire the printer status after printing

If ASB is enabled, the printer will return the printer status automatically.
