ITEM NUMBER CHECK

The printer checks the item number of received print data whether the number is increasing one (1) to every item.
If an error is detected, the printer activates "ITEM NUMBER ERROR" at the beginning of that item's print operation
ceases printing. The item number error can only be detected if the Check of Item Number is enabled. In addition to
various printer keypad functions, a BCC error is released by either sending a SUB command or a CAN command.
Specify the item number starting from "00000" after powering on the printer. Note that print data is the subject of
the check of item number and that error detection is not performed for the data that does not accompany print
operation - such as registered data and printer setup command. For such data, specify "*****" for its item number.
When specifying the item number with <ESC>IQ, the command for the designation of Start Item Number, the start
number for the next data becomes the item number specified in <ESC>IQ.
