Description:
■
This enables or disables ASB (Automatic Status Back) according to n.
•
ASB is enabled when n > 0.
Remarks:
■ ASB is the function that transmit the printer status such as cover open/close and Online/Offline] continuously at the
time interval specified regardless of the status change if ASB is enabled. Using this ASB function, the host can check
to see if the printer is running properly.
■ Once ASB has been enabled, the printer continues to transmit the current printer status at the specified interval until
ASB is disabled.
■ When n = 0, ASB is disabled. The printer stops transmitting the status.
■ With parallel and USB interface, the printer status is transmitted whenever the host computer changes to the reverse
mode regardless of the printer status change. It is recommended that the periodic time interval at which the host
changes to reverse mode is more than 500ms in order to receive the correct status.
■ With serial interface, ASB status is transmitted continuously at the interval of 1 sec even if the status is not changed.
■ The setting of this command remains effective until ESC @, printer reset or power cycling is executed.
