immediately via the RS-232 or USB port.
interface, the printer returns an error and status report on the serial
port once it when reaches a state of normal-command-input or error-
waiting-recovering.
Command must end with <CR> or <LF> to be correctly executed.
The printer replies to the host via serial port in one of the following
formats:
1 If no error code is available (normal case):
00<CR><LF>
00 = Status code OK
2 If only one error code is available:
XX<CR><LF>
XX = Error or status code
3 If more error or status codes are available:
XX,YY,ZZ..<CR><LF>
XX YY ZZ.. = Error or status codes.
Note: An error report has higher priority than other commands and
is processed directly, both in position of normal command input
and in position of any error recovery.
An ^ee command cannot be performed:
• during downloading of images, fonts, or forms.
• inside a variable input (?), or inside a string area ("").
• when the input data buffer is full (> 8000 bytes).
At position error-waiting-recovering, the command ^ee must be sent
into the printer via the RS-232 or USB interface to get an error report.
