[Description]
Each of the counters consist of a 16 bits register except the "Time On" counter that has
32 bits. The transmission of each counter starts by the LSB and ends at MSB. In order
to obtain any counter it is required to send the correspondent command and
immediately read 2 or 4 bytes (b0, b1, b2, b3) depending on the counter required.
Finally in order to obtain the absolute value of the counter proceed as follow:
[Notes]
The "Meters" counter only registers complete meters, any portion of a meter that has
●
been printed before turning the printer off will be discard.
For the "Cuts" counter to increment the full cut or partial cut command has to be sent
●
to the printer.
The maximum number of each counter is 65536 counts except "Time On" counter
●
that records up to 2
