Decimal
n = 1, 2, 49, 50
[Range]
GS r n transmits 1 byte of status data specified by n as follows: paper sensor status when n=1 or 49
and drawer kick-out connector status when n=2 or 50. When the paper roll end sensor detects a
paper-end, the printer goes off-line and does not execute this command. Therefore, bits 2 and 3 do
not transmit paper-end status .
