[Particularize] □ This command only effected when the auto cutter error, cover open.
• Deal with the data once the printer receive this command.
□ Though the printer is offline, full printing buffer or serial interface mode error, always execute this command.
□ In parallel interface mode, this command can not be executed when the printer is busy. When Memory Switch 1-3 is
□ DLE ENQ 2 allow that the printer recovers after clearing receiving buffer area and printing area. When the printer keep
the error occurred, it located in effective set ( as ESC !, ESC 3 etc) . Completely initialize the printer by this command
and ESC @. This command only effects for the error which can be recovered, except for print head
temperature error.
[Notes] □ Whenever receive <10>H<05>H<n> (1 S nS 2) data sequence, will send status.
For example:
ESC * m nL nH dk, d1 = <10>H, d2 = <05>H, d3 = <01>H □ In the command data includes 2 or more
bytes, can not use this command.
For example:
If want to send ESC 3 n to the printer, but before sending the n, DTR ( For the host is DSR)will change to MARK,
hence before receiving n, DLE ENQ 2 to discontinue. The code of DLE ENQ 2 <10>H will be processed by the code
<10>H of ESC 3.
