My OPOS demo code is specifically for the Epson receipt printer. What I have available for the printer are an Empty sensor and NearEnd sensor properties which are both true. This indicates that the printer is capable of providing feedback if the paper is near the end or out. This is supposed to be determined by a StatusUpdateEvent event which I have not been able to actually work to provide this type of feedback.
