Remarks:
This command only applies when the serial interface has been selected.
With the parallel interface, it is ignored.
If no cash drawer is connected, the bit in question has the value “1" in
the status byte.
The status is transmitted back when the command is executed.
A delay can therefore occur between transmission of the command and
reception of the status byte; the extent of this delay depends on how
full the reception buffer is.
ESC v
Function:
Transmit Printer Status
Code:
<1B>H <76>
Description:
The ESC v command is used for synchronization between host soft-
ware and printer. The reply to this command is only transmitted when
all previous job prints have been carried out.
This command only applies when the serial interface has been
selected. In the case of the parallel interface, it is ignored.
This command induces the controller to transmit the current status via
the V.24 interface. After the system has indicated that it is able to
receive, the printer transmits a byte (status byte).
Depending on the position of DIP switches 2 and 3, which determine
the compatibility of the ND69, the status byte contains the following:

Remarks:
Bit 6 “error” is an or-connection of the error bits from ESC +1 and is
automatically deleted when ESC + 1 or ESC v has been executed. The
error can be more clearly specified and removed by means of the
extended error message (ESC +1). In the BEETLE/60 mode Bit 6 is set
