STX Y

Output Sensor Values

This command causes a sensor value response. When Y is received, the printer will
respond with the digitally converted values of the internal analog sensors (see below).
To repeat the display of values, send the printer a “SPACE” character (20 hexadecimal);
or, send to terminate this function.

The printer must have Feedback Characters enabled for this command to function.

(Feedback Mode [Characters] can be enabled via command or menu setting; see the
KcFM

command or the Operator’s Manual for additional information).
