ENQ and ENQ/STX
When enabled, the printer responds to an ENQ signal by sending a status byte to the host. The type of status byte is determined by a Front Panel menu selection. The selections allowed are ENQ and ENQ/STX. The ENQ is removed from the data stream. The menu selection for enabling the ENQ option may only be seen when using a feature file.
