Second byte (printer information)

Bit	Off/On	Hex	Decimal	Status for ASB
0	-	-	-	Undefined.
1	-	-	-	Undefined.
2	-	-	-	Undefined.
3	Off	00	0	No autocutter error.
	On	08	8	Autocutter error occurred.
4	Off	00	0	Not used.	Fixed to Off.

6	Off	00	0	No automatically recoverable error.
	On	40	64	Automatically recoverable error occurred.
7	Off	00	0	Not used.	Fixed to Off.

Bit 3: If these errors occur due to paper jams or the like, it is possible to recover by correcting the cause of the error and executing DLE ENQ n (1 ≤ n ≤ 2). If an error due to a circuit failure (e.g. wire break) occurs, it is impossible to recover.

Bit 6: When printing is stopped due to high print head temperature until the print head temperature drops sufficiently or when the paper roll cover is open during printing, bit 6 is On.
