Paper roll Status commands DLE EOT
Ver. 10.05 p. 297
transmission buffer is 99 bytes; therefore, data that exceeds 99 bytes is ignored. When using this
command, the host should be changed to the Reverse Mode immediately and execute a receive
processing of status.
■ Real time status can be differentiated by the information of bits 0, 1, 4, and 7 from other transmission
data. If the data transmitted from the printer after outputting is “0xx1xx10”(x = 0 or 1), process the data
as a real time status.
[Model-dependent variations] TM-J2000/J2100, TM-T90, TM-T88IV, TM-T70, TM-L90, TM-P60, TM-U230,
TM-U220
TM-J2000/J2100
BUSY condition for a parallel interface is selected by memory switch 1-3.
Use this command according to the following rules; otherwise, the status might not be
transmitted.
■ The next data is not transmitted until status is received after this command is transmitted.
■ Only when it is necessary to acquire plural, real-time status items continuously, this command
can be transmitted continuously up to 6 times. However, the next data is not transmitted until all
status is received in this case.
■ Roll paper sensor status (n = 4)
When the cover is open, the status of the roll paper end sensor (bit 5, 6) retain the value when the
cover was closed immediately before.
■ Ink status A / B (n = 7)
Program Example for all printers
PRINT #1, CHR$(&h10);CHR$(&h4);CHR$(2); ← Transmits offline status
PRINT #1, CHR$(&h10);CHR$(&h4);CHR$(&h7);CHR$(1); ←
Transmits ink status A
