Epson TM-T85P manual 48Commands, When using DLE EOT, ESC u, ESC v, GS I, or GS r, the status

[Notes]	• If any of the status items in the table above are enabled, the printer
	transmits the status when this command is executed. The printer
	automatically transmits the status whenever the enabled status
	item changes. The disabled status items may change, in this case,
	because each status transmission represents the current status.
	• If all status items are disabled, the ASB function is also disabled.
	• The following four status bytes are transmitted without
	confirming whether the host is ready to receive data. The four
	status bytes must be consecutive, except for the XOFF code.
	• Since this command is executed sfter the data is processed in the
	receive buffer, there may be a time lag between data reception and
	status transmission.
	• When the printer is disabled by ESC =, this command is disabled
	but ASB is not disabled.
	• When using DLE EOT, ESC u, ESC v, GS I, or GS r, the status
	transmitted by these commands and ASB status must be
	differentiated.
	• The status to be transmitted are as follows:
