ESC v
[Name] Transmit paper sensor status
[Format] ASCII
Hex
Decimal
ESC v transmits the status of a paper sensor as 1 byte of data. When the paper roll end sensor detects
a paper-end, the printer goes off-line and does not execute this command. Therefore, bit 2 and 3 do
not transmit paper-end status. GS r is preferred for checking the status because ESC v is not a
recommended command.
