Status Commands

The TM-L60II/L60IP printers support the following status transmission commands. These
commands can be used to determine the status of the printer, paper sensors, and peripheral devices
connected to the printer.

GS a Enable/disable Automatic Status Back (ASB)
GS r Transmit status
DLE EOT Real-time status transmission

GS a n
[Name] Enable/disable Automatic Status Back (ASB)

Decimal
[Range] 0 n
GS a n selects a status for ASB transmission. ASB is enabled if any status item is selected. The printer
automatically transmits a 4-byte status message whenever the status changes. Multiple status items
can be selected. When n=0, ASB is disabled. The default (n=0 or n=2) depends on the DIP switch
settings. If ASB is enabled when the printer is disabled by the ESC = command, the printer transmits
a 4-byte status message whenever the status changes. The status items are selected using n as follows:
