Notes
- Binary frame protocol. Hex notation
NNh= byte value NN. All frames end with checksum byte<CKS>. - Checksum: low byte of sum of all preceding bytes (example:
20h+81h+01h+60h+01h+00h = 103h → CKS = 03h). - ID1 (control ID) and ID2 (model code) are runtime-substituted framing parameters; values not in this refined source.
- Power state machine (per 078-2 DATA06): Standby(Sleep) → Power on → Cooling → Standby; plus Standby(error), Standby(Power saving), Network standby variants.
- Serial port = PC CONTROL D-SUB 9P (cross cable). Pin table: 2=RxD, 3=TxD, 5=GND, 7=RTS, 8=CTS.
- TCP port 7142 (stated). LAN: 10/100 Mbps auto, IEEE 802.3 / 802.3u.
- Input terminal / aspect / sub-input enum values referenced in "Appendix Supplementary Information by Command" — not present in refined source, marked UNRESOLVED where relevant.
- Lamp info reflects eco mode state when enabled (037-4). Lamp usage updated at 1-minute intervals despite 1-second resolution.

Known Gaps
- "default baud rate not marked in source (5 values listed); firmware version not stated; flow_control not explicitly stated; input terminal values referenced in Appendix not present in refined source"
- "source lists 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800 - no default marked"
- "RTS/CTS pins present in pin table but flow_control setting not stated"
- "per-command success-response payloads not individually enumerated here; see source command details"
- "ID1/ID2 default values and configuration procedure not stated in refined source"
- "source documents no unsolicited notifications; all responses are command-driven."
- "source documents no multi-step command sequences."
- "no power-on sequencing requirements or hardware interlock voltages stated."
- "Appendix \"Supplementary Information by Command\" tables (input terminal values, aspect values, eco mode values, base model types, sub-input values) not in refined source."
- "default baud rate among 5 listed values not specified."
- "flow_control setting not explicitly stated (RTS/CTS pins wired per D-SUB table)."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source."
- "ID1 control ID default / configuration procedure not in refined source."
