    n=3: Slip status Value Slip status There is no printing area on the current slip or slip paper is not 00000000B selected. It is possible to print one line excluding double-height characters 00000001B on the current slip. It is possible to print one line including double-height characters 00000010B on the current slip.
  • Page 104 • This command should not be contained within another command that consists of 2 or more bytes. Example: If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, and then DLE EOT BS 1 interrupts before n is received, the code <10>H for DLE EOT BS 1 is processed as the code for ESC 3 <10>H.

  • Page 106 • If the MICR function is not selected when this command is executed, the MICR function is selected and the printer enters the personal check waiting status. When slip paper is selected for printing, the printer ejects the current slip, and then waits for check paper to be loaded.
  • Page 107 • During identification result transmission, the printer ignores DLE EOT n, DLE EOT BS n, and GS ENQ. Also, the printer does not transmit ASB during reading and identification result trans- mission. Therefore, the user cannot confirm changes in the printer status during these periods.
