Reception data is temporarily stored in the reception buffer, then processed sequentially. • Line buffer The buffer for storing image data for printing is called the line buffer. • Line buffer full The state in which the buffer has no more space available is called line buffer full.
Rev. 0.00 3-2) Exception processing 1) Undefined codes Codes from <00>H to <1F>H are targeted. When codes not defined as commands in this region are received, they are discarded. (Ex.) If processing the data string of <30>H<31>H<03>H<32>H<0A>H<33>H, the printer will discard <03>H as an undefined code. 2) Undefined commands When data continuing the codes of ESC, FS, GS, DLE are codes not defined as commands, ESC, FS,GS and subsequent codes are discarded.

Rev. 0.00 5-2) Appendix 2 – Status Specifications This function is valid only when using an interface capable of bi-directional data communications. Refer to your printer’s product specification manual to verify if the interface cable on the printer you use is capable of bi-directional data communications. 5-2-1) ENQ Command Status This status is the one the printer transmits using the ENQ command.
Rev. 0.00 5-2-3) Automatic Status Automatic status is a group of states that are automatically returned from the printer to the host when the printer’s status has changed.Automatic status is composed of “Header – 1,” “Header – 2” and “plurality of bytes of the printer status and is continuously returned to the host.The host always uses an identifying method to identify the data for every byte received.
Rev. 0.00 (2) Header -2 Header -2 is the 1 byte length information transmitted from the second byte of the automatic status. The table below shows the composition of the Header -2. Header -2 represents the automatic status version (called automatic status version below) using bit 1 to bit 3 and bit 5. For reference, the table below shows the relationship of actual version bytes and the Header -2.
Rev. 0.00 (3) Printer Status Printer status is the status of the printer sent from the 3rd byte of the automatic status. For the printer status, (the number of bytes added in Header -1 minus two) is returned. Printer status is always updated for new information. (No log exists.) The following shows the composition of the status.
