Description The [DLE] EOT <n> command transmits the specified status in real time. The
command is executed if the printer is off line, the print buffer is full, or an error
occurs. If the printer goes off line due to a paper-end condition, bit 5 of the
printer status (waiting for on-line recovery) is on from the time the paper roll is
inserted to the time the printer goes on-line. See the [GS] z 0 command for
details of the on-line recovery wait time. The paper roll low sensor is an option.
If the printer does not have a paper low sensor, bits 2 and 3 of the paper roll
sensor status will always be ―Paper adequate.‖ Bit 3 of the second byte is always
―No error occurred.‖
