OBTAIN HISTORY DATA (LW)

This command enables the printer to send 500-items at a time of CR/LF history data to the host. Avoid any

transmission to the printer while history data is being sent to the host. Also avoid the inclusion and use of this

command in the print data.

When the Item Number command is not in the receive data, or the command is incorrect, the item number is saved

as “*****” and the status as “3” in the history. The Item Number Error may occur at the beginning of print operation

and cease operation.

RELEASE RETURN ERROR (SUB)

This command enables the printer to release from an error and resume printing of the item where the error

occurred. The host also sends an ENQ command to confirm execution. Avoid the inclusion and use of this

command in the print data.

PRINTER STATUS (MG)

Receipt of SOH followed by MG causes the printer to return information bounded by an STX-ETX pair that reports

the current operating status of the printer.
