IMMEDIATE MODE prints a line to the standard OUT port with information on the current status (ON or OFF) of the following modes: - Execution - Immediate - Input - Layout Input ?

Intermec Direct Protocol v.8.60—Programmer’s Reference Manual
Chapter 6—Reading the Printer’s Status
6.7 Reading Printer’s Status
°e printer’s status in regard of various errors and other conditions can
be read and returned to the host using the
PRSTAT
instruction:
? (PRSTAT AND <parameter>)
<parameter> = 0
Ok
<parameter> = 1
printhead lifted
<parameter> = 2
label not removed (returns 0 if no LTS fitted)
<parameter> = 4
label stop sensor (LSS) detects no media
<parameter> = 8
printer out of transfer ribbon (returns 0 if DT)
<parameter> = 16
printer voltage too high
<parameter> = 32
printer is feeding
<parameter> = 64
RESERVED
<parameter> = 128
printer out of media
Parameters can be combined, for example <3> checks for both “printhead
lifted” and “label not removed” conditions. °e printer will either return
1 (=yes) or 0 (=no).
°e version of the Intermec Direct Protocol, the type of printer family,
and the type of CPU board can be read using a
VERSION$
instruction:
? VERSION$[(type of info)]
<type of info> = 0
returns the version of the Intermec Fingerprint firmware (default), for example
“Fingerprint 8.60”
<type of info> = 1
returns the type of printer family, for example
“PF2i”, “PF4i”,
“PM4i”, "PX4i", or "PX6i"
<type of info> = 2
returns the type of CPU board, for example “hardware version 4.0”
°e instruction
IMMEDIATE
allows you see the status of various printer
modes and the setting of the standard IN and OUT channels:
? IMMEDIATE MODE
prints a line to the standard OUT port with information on the current
status (ON or OFF) of the following modes:
- Execution
- Immediate
- Input
- Layout Input
? IMMEDIATE STDIO
prints two lines to the standard OUT port with information on the
current settings for the standard IN and standard OUT channels.
