Obtain Printer Characteristics (OPC)

This subcommand is a host request for information about the current printer environment characteristics.
The printer responds by placing the requested information in the Special Data (SD)area of a subsequent
Acknowledge Reply. The printer reply is a series of self-defining fields describing the printer
characteristics. The OPC data is returned in more than one response buffer. The self-defining fields
contain specific information about the printer characteristics. If the ARQ flag was not set on for the XOH
command containing this order, then this order is equivalent to a No Operation.
