Dynamic status can be used to allow the host to sense status changes without
sending repeated inquire ([ENQ]) commands. The operation of the dynamic
response varies depending on the configuration of the printer. If the printer is
configured for Serial or IEEE 1284 operation, more than one status can be
sensed as the printer will respond to status changes as if an [ENQ] were issued.
In parallel mode, only one status should be requested. If more than one bit is
active, the resulting status on the paper error (PE) signal will not be defined.

Note: Power up default is paper out on PE signal.
