[Function]
In printing bar codes with the current setting and the printing starting position using this command,
information such as the presence of errors is sent to the printer.
Therefore, it is possible to confirm whether printing is possible before actual printing, with this com-
mand.
If there is an error, the command is received and discarded even if the print command ESC GS x P
is sent.
Also, if the following errors occur, “Error” information is sent to the printer.
• When an error occurs when generating the bar code by the combination of bar code settings
• When the generated bar code exceeds the printable PDF417 size.
• When the print data exceeds the currently set print region.
