[Range]
DLE EOT n transmits the specified status in real time. This command is executed if the printer is off-
line, the print buffer is full, or an error occurs.
If the printer goes off-line due to a paper-end condition, bit 5 of the printer status (waiting for on-line
recovery) is on from the time the paper roll is inserted to the time the printer goes on-line. See the
GS z 0 command for details of on-line recovery wait time.
The paper roll near-end sensor is an option. If the printer is not equipped with the paper near-end
sensor, bits 2 and 3 of the paper roll sensor status will always be "Paper Adequate." Bit 3 of the
second byte ("Auto-Cutter Error" status) for the TM-U200D/PD is always "No Error Occurred."
n indicates the status function as follows:
n Function
1 Transmit printer status
2 Transmit off-line status
3 Transmit error status
4 Transmit paper roll sensor status
