[Range] n = 0, 48
ESC u n transmits the status of drawer kick-out connector pin 3 as 1 byte of data when n=0 or 48. This
command allows the host to determine the status of a peripheral device. GS r is preferred for
checking the status because ESC u is not a recommended command. This command is supported
only by TM-T85/T85P.

ESC v
[Name] Transmit paper sensor status
[Format] ASCII
Hex
Decimal
ESC v transmits the status of a paper sensor as 1 byte of data. GS r is preferred for checking the
status because ESC v is not a recommended command. 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. The status to be transmitted is shown in the table below. This
command is supported only by TM-T85/T85P.
