STATUS/INFORMATION

Get Printer Status

Format:

ESC (0x1b) ‘h’ (0x68)

This command requests a status byte from the printer. If one is returned, it indicates that the printer is

operational and has finished processing the previous label. It should be called before loading or printing

a label in order to make sure that the host software is synchronized with the printer. If bit 3 of the status

byte is high, it indicates that the battery is low. If bit 4 is high, it indicates that the printer has been

powered on and reset (see the Reset Status function). This command requests a status byte from the

printer with the following format:

Bit Description

4 Printer reset (0=reset cleared, 1=printer reset)

3 Battery status (0=voltage OK, 1=low battery)

2 Latch status (0=latch closed, 1=latch open)

1 Paper status (0=paper present, 1= out of paper)

0 Printer status (0=printer ready, 1=printer busy)

1 2 ... 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 ... 496 497
