SOFTWARE MANUAL C32
7 PRINTER STATUS AND SYSTEM MESSAGES
Two kinds of status transmission are available for the default print modes.
1.
Default status message via flags called A8 status messages
2.
Extended status message with protocol called C32 status messages
Simple messages are based upon the flag principle. Each flag of a status byte corresponds to a message. To make a
distinction between the 5 status bytes and other data, status bytes are in always situated above 80hex. Moreover the
upper flags are used as identifiers to make it possible to identify the individual status bytes.
Extended messages are always transferred in an ASCII format with a secured data format. A message contains an
identifier and a checksum to recognize defective transmissions.
In the
parameter module 12
“message" and
module 30
“message_A8", simple as well as extended messages can be
configured to decide whether they shall be sent automatically or on demand, also which kind of messages are sent or if
they are sent at all.
