BYTE 4
[Caution] • If any status item is enabled, the status is sent to the host when this command is
executed. After that time on, the status is sent each time an enabled status item
changes. Because each status item represents the current condition, status items
disabled for ASB may also have changed.
• The ASB function is disabled if all status items are disabled.
• The printer sends 4 bytes of status shown in the tables below, without checking
whether the host is ready to receive or busy. The 4 bytes of status is a continuous
string except for XOFF code.
• Because this command is executed when data is mapped in the receive buffer,
there may be a delay between command receiving and status sending depending
on the condition of the receive buffer.
• Even if the printer is excluded from the selection of peripheral equipment (ESC =),
the 4 bytes of status is sent to the host whenever status changes.
