[Description]	Feeds paper for cutting position as follows;
Bit		Print mode
1, 49	Partial cut (one portion left uncut)
66	Feeds paper for ( cutting position + [n x 0.122 mm {1/192 inches}]), and partial cut.

[Notes]

Even if only one of the statuses is enabled, the status is sent when this command is executed. Subsequently, whenever the state of a valid status changes, that status is sent. In this case, because the current state is shown for each status, there is a possibility of a state change for a status for which ASB is not enabled.

If all statuses are disabled, the Automatic Status Back (ASB) function is disabled.

When transmitting a status, the printer transmits only four bytes.

Four bytes of status data must be consecutive, except for XOFF code.

This command is executed when the data in the receive buffer is developed. Therefore, there may be a time lag between receiving this command and transmitting the status, depending on the receive buffer status.

When the printer is disabled by ESC = (Select peripheral device), this command is disabled but ASB is not disabled.

The status to be transmitted are as follows:
