0 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
1 On 02 2 Not used. Fixed to On.
Off 00 0 No mechanical error. 2 On 04 4 Mechanical error occurred.
3 - - - Undefined.
4 On 10 16 Not used. Fixed to On
Off 00 0 No auto-recoverable error. 6 On 40 64 Auto-recoverable error has occurred.
7 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
Bit 2: Mechanical errors include home position, carriage sensor, and slip
ejection errors.
Bits 2 and 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. broken wire)
occurs, it is impossible to recover.
Bit 6: If the print head temperature becomes high, bit 6 is transmitted until
the print head temperature drops sufficiently. The printer automatically
recovers from this error.
