DLE EOT n

[Function] Sends Status at Real Time

[Code] ASCII DLE EOT n

Hexadecimal 10 04 n

Decimal 16 4 n

[Range] 1



3, n = 5

[Outline] This command sends the n-speciﬁed status at real time.

[Caution] • For the status sent, see the tables on the following pages.

• This command runs processing upon its reception.

• When sending the status, only one byte is sent without conﬁrming the DSR signal status.

• The command is executed in the off-line state, reception buffer full state, and error state as

well.

• The user should note that the operation of this command is also executed when a data

sequence of <10>H<04>H<n> (1



3, n = 5) is received, other than this command.

d1 = <10>H, d2 = <04>H, d3 = <1> in ESC * m nL nH [d]nL + 256

• This command must not be used by interrupting the code sequence of other command

consisting of 2 bytes or more.

If DLE EOT 3 is sent after sending up to ESC 3, attempting to send ESC 3 n from the host, it

will be processed as ESC 3 n = <10>H. Therefore, the use should take heed of this.

• If ASB has been enabled by GS a, it is necessary to distinguish the status by this command

from that of ASB. See “6. Interface” for how to distinguish them

• If n is beyond the range, this command will be ignored.
