Status reporting commands
See also
A status enquiry results in response ACK (6) if all sensors are clear, but NAK (15) + code if one
or more sensors report some condition.
A status enquiry command can only return one status code at a time. If there are two or more
simultaneous conditions, each condition should be cleared and the status enquiry repeated in
order to get a complete report of all status codes.
Note •
All status commands are immediate, that is they pass the print queue and are
answered directly.

Note •
Errors 2, 5, and FF are terminal faults that require you to reset the printer before it will
be operable again. The printer automatically recovers from the other conditions as soon as
the cause is corrected.
