Flash status
One of the existing Transmit status commands is extended to provide information about the
user accessible flash memory and associated command results. The original parameters for
this command are unchanged. Flash status is implemented with a new parameter.
GS r n Transmit status.
format ASCII GS r n
Hex 1D 72 n
Decimal 29 114 n
range 1 ≤ n ≤ 4, 49 ≤ n ≤ 52
Transmits the status specified by n, as follows:
n Function
1, 49 Transmits printer status.
2, 50
Transmits cash drawer status (same as ESC u 0).
3, 51 Transmits slip paper status.
4, 52 Transmits flash memory status. * * * new
When DTR/DSR RS232 communications handshaking control is selected, the printer transmits
the one byte response only when the host signal DSR indicates it is ready to receive data.
When XON/XOFF RS232 communications handshaking control is selected, the printer
transmits the one byte response regardless of the host signal DSR.
This command is a batch mode command; the response is transmitted after all prior data in the
receive buffer has been processed. There may be a time lag between the printer receiving this
command and transmitting the response, depending on the receive buffer status.
When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using GS a n, the status transmitted by GS r n and
the ASB status must be differentiated using the information titled „recognizing data from the
printer“ in earlier documentation.
When n is out of the specified range, this command is ignored.
