[Notes]

  • It is possible to select multiple sensors to stop printing. When any sensor detects a paper-end, printing stops.
  • Some sensors are not present, depending on the printer model.
  • The names of some sensors differ, depending on the printer model.
  • The roll paper near-end sensor is enabled when either bit 0 or bit 1 is on or both are on.
  • The roll paper end sensor is enabled when either bit 2 or bit 3 is on or both are on.
  • When a paper near-end is detected, the printer stops after the current printing completed and goes offline. To resume printing, cancel the "roll paper near-end" status by replacing the roll paper.
  • If the roll paper near-end sensor is disabled and a paper near-end is detected, printing does not stop and the printer does not go offline, but the paper out LED does come on.
  • When a roll paper end is detected, the printer performs the same operations as when a roll paper near-end is detected.
  • Settings of this command are effective until ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
