38) Paper-out sensor – enable
(a) Code: ESC 9
(b) Compatibility: EPS FX/IBM III
(c) Function:
Enables the paper out sensor, which activates an alarm lamp when 0.5 inch or less
of paper remains.
(d) Additional details:
• Upon detection, the alram lamp is lit and the printer is deselected.
• Paper out detector can also be enabled by MENU.
• Manual Paper Out Override.
— While the paper end lamp is on, if the SEL switch is depressed, 1 line of data
is printed, and line feed is executed.
— Paper override function is valid until the next TOF position is reached. After
the next TOF is reached, the function becomes invalid.
— When SEL switch is depressed after paper is reset (paper end switch off), the
following states return and the printer is in the select mode:
— SEL lamp light on.
— Paper lamp light off.
— I/F becomes select (receivable) state.
• While Paper Out Override is active, if multiple line feeds are received by the printer,
the printer executes the line feeds until the TOF position is reached. If there are
line feeds that couldn’t be executed because the TOF was reached, they are
“saved” and will execute after new paper is inserted.
• Unprinted data will be saved in the buffer and printed after paper is replaced and
the SEL switch is depressed. If data in the print buffer is not printed because paper
out was detected, the data will not be lost and can be printed after the paper is
replaced and the SEL switch is depressed.
