Page Mode
During Label-Mode operation, the printer sends the following statuses to the host.
<SOH> <STX> "F" "I" <ETX> <EOT> <CR> <LF>
<SOH> <STX> "O" "F" <ETX> <EOT> <CR> <LF>
<SOH> <STX> "P" "R" <ETX> <EOT> <CR> <LF>
<SOH> <STX> "R" "E" <ETX> <EOT> <CR> <LF>
<SOH> <STX> "E" "1" <ETX> <EOT> <CR> <LF>
<SOH> <STX> "E" "2" <ETX> <EOT> <CR> <LF>
<SOH> <STX> "E" "3" <ETX> <EOT> <CR> <LF>
The printer outputs the "Printing in progress" status only upon receipt of a status
request command. The printer issues the "Printing finished" status when printing
finishes, but never in response to a status request command. All other statuses are
issued both when the event occurs and upon request.
A "system error" indicates one of the following: 1 cutter error, 2 communica-
tion error, or 3 command error.
