Bit 4

power-up error

Power-up error is reported when a hardware error is recognized while
the printer is being switched on.
Bit 5

logo format error

Logo format error is reported when a format error is recognized while a
logo is being loaded (ESC & 3).
Bit 6

job loss error

In the EPSON-TM930 and ND69 operating modes, bit 6 is always
equal to 1. In BEETLE/60 mode, job loss error is reported when the ND69
receives printing data in the following states:

in all off-line states (e.g. device fault, open cover);

at paper end on one of the three stations, when print stop is
switched on.

In this mode bit 6 is set at each received control sequence when one of
the other error bits (0 to 5) is set at the same time.

Remarks:

Unlike the BEETLE/60 printer, all jobs that do not lead to printing or
line feed are correctly executed (e.g. setting line space).

ESC + 3

The set printer parameters can be read. A data field of 6 bytes (n2 = 6)
with the following meaning is transmitted:
