Status polling allows you to obtain information about

the readiness of the printer.

the current (or last received) print job.

Immediate commands consist of a three- or four-character sequence you can send
in a packet or embed in your application. Each command must be sent separately.
You can use immediate commands to change immediate command or status polling
control characters, reset the printer, or cancel and repeat batches.

When the printer is first turned on, these commands are not av ailable. To use
these commands, you must first send the control characters packet and define the
immediate command control character. The immediate command control character
is saved in non-volatile RAM and therefore not lost after you turn off the print er.
Once the immediate command control character is defined, the immediate
commands are enabled. Refer to the optional Packet Reference Manual for more
information about using immediate commands.
