.. index:: $1D $49 - Printer ID

Printer ID - $1D $49 |rel| |phx|

Short description

Format:	Hex $1D $49 n ASCII GS I n Decimal 29 73 n
Notes:	This command responds when the data buffer is processed. Therefore, a time delay between when the command is received and when the printer responds can occur. This time delay depends on the data buffer status and printer status. Refer to this table for valid values of n: Phoenix only supports the n=3 parameter. n Printer ID Description 1,29 Printer Model ID [Model, Reserved, Reserved] 2,50 Type ID RESERVED (Reports $02) 3,31 Firmware Revision 4 character revision, e.g. "1.12"
Range:	Reliance: 1 ≤ n ≤ 3, 49 ≤ n ≤ 51 Phoenix: n = 3
Default:	N/A
Related:	None
Example Model:	write('\x1d\x49\x01') >>> $5D $95 $59 # Reliance model code followed by 2 reserved bytes
Example:	write('\x1d\x49\x03') >>> $31 $2e $31 $32 # 1.12 in ASCII

.. index:: $1D $72 - Transmit Status

Transmit Status - $1D $72 |rel|

Transmits the paper sensor status based on the value of n.

Format:	Hex $1D $72 n ASCII GS r n Decimal 29 114 n
Notes:	This is not a real time status command. Commands will be processed in order of reception, therefore a time delay may be present between receiving the command transmitting the Paper Sensor Status. Refer to this table for response codes: Ejector State Byte Table BIT OFF/ON HEX DECIMAL DESCRIPTION 0,1 Off 00 0 Paper Roll Present With Abundance On 03 3 Near Paper Roll End 2,3 Off 00 0 Paper Present On 0C 12 Paper Not Present 4       Reserved 5       Undefined 6       Undefined 7       Reserved
Range:	n=1,49
Default:	N/A
Related:	None
Example Paper Status:	write('\x1d\x72\x01') >>> \x03 # Roll is present but near end
