[Function]
Transmits information about the external device connected to the printer.
[Detail]
Information is transmitted in the following format:
ESC GS ) I pL pH fn k1 k2 [external device information1, external device information 2 , …..] LF NUL
k1 and k2 indicate the number of transmission data bytes (k1 + k2 * 256) after the external device
information.
When there are a lot of information about external devices, they are delimited by commas (2Ch).
Example: When a MCS10 is connected to the external device and the MCS10 FW version is 1.0.
ESC GS ) I pL pH fn k1 k2 DkMdl=MCS10 , DkVer=1.0 , LF NUL (k1 = 24, k2 =0
)
When an external device is not connected or when a connected external device is not supported by this
function, only the tags related to the corresponding external device are transmitted.
Example: When an external device is not connected to the external device connection terminal of a
model that supports tags DkMld and DkVer.
