Enter the remote mode. A block of remote commands follows.
This command is used to alert the printer to the beginning of a block of remote commands that follow. The remote command block is a modern method that Epson uses to privately communicate with the printer. It is thought that this is the key to support printer functions such as nozzle cleaning, resetting the waste ink counter, reading from the scanner (if fitted) etc. Many of the Remote commands are not formally documented. They have only been documented by trial and error. Remote commands are distinguished by a two character type code (e.g. TI) followed by a variable list of parameters. Other commands may follow immediately.
ESC 0x28 0x52 08 00 00 followed by the string REMOTE1
ESC 0x28 0x52 08 00 00 52 45 4D 4F 54 45 31
The 00 is followed by the string REMOTE1
Subcode none
Bytecount 0x0800 = 0x0008 = 8 dec
The individual commands contained within the remote block are described elsewhere in this document.
ESC 0x 00 00 00
There can be multiple Remote commands blocks in one print file.
A remote block is terminated by ESC 0x 00 00 00
Known Remote block commands are:
TI, JS, JH, PM, DP, SN, MI, US, FP ,PP, LD, JE
Remote block command TI
This command is used to record the date and time of the print file creation.
TI 08 00 Year(3) Month Day Hour Minute Second
Year The big endian numeric value of the Month
Month The numeric value of the Month 1=January to 12=May
Day The numeric value of the Day
Hour The numeric value hour in 24 hour format 17=5pm
Minute The numeric value minute
Second The numeric value Second
TI 08 00 00 07 DB 05 08 16 09 1E
Bytecount 0x0800 = 0x0008 = 8 dec
Year 0x 00 07 DB = 0x 0007DB = 2011dec (note big endian!)
Month 0x05 = May
Day 0x08 = The 8th
Hour 0x16 =22 dec = 10 (pm)
Minute 0x09 = 09dec
Second 0x1E = 30 dec
The file was created at 10:09:30 on the 8th May 2011
Unknown
The first byte of the year may be an unknown field instead.
