DLE EOT BS n transmits MICR status in real time when n=1.
This command supports the TM-U590/U590P with the MICR option. This command is ignored
during a process of transmitting the check paper reading result. With a serial interface model, this
command is executed even when the printer is off-line, the receive buffer is full, or an error occurs.
With a parallel interface model, this command is not executed in the following status, because the
printer is busy and unable to receive data from the host computer:
Receive buffer is full when DIP switch 2-1 is set to ON.
Printer is off-line, an error occurs, or receive buffer is full when DIP switch 2-1 is set to OFF.
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H10);CHR$(&H4);CHR$(&H8);CHR$(1); ←
The status information to be transmitted is shown in the table below.
