Status Response
This transmission protocol responds to the host, the printer's condition or response as a status by receiving 2 types of printing or requested commands.
The details of each request or echo command are explained below.
(1) Status Request Command
In receiving this command, the ID number of received data currently being printed and the printer's condition, as well as the remaining number of print jobs and their names are responded to the host. Furthermore, after printing or if no data has been received, or if the ID command has not be specified, the ID number will be echoed back as spaces (Hex 20H), and the quantity of print jobs will be responded back as all zeroes (Hex 30H).
