	Example:		<ESC>ID09
	Placement:		Immediately following the <ESC>A in the job data stream.
	Default:		None
Command Function	To add an identification number to a job. The status of the job can
	then be determined using the ENQ command in the Bi-Com status
	mode (See Section 5: Interface Specifications for more information).
Printer Input	<ESC>A
	<ESC>ID02
	. . . Job . . .
	<ESC>Z
Printer Output	There is no printer output as a result of this command.
Special Notes	1. Works only in Bi-Com mode. The Job ID number must be stored
	before Bi-Com status mode can be used.

2. If more than one ID number is sent in a single job, i.e. <ESC>A

<ESC>ID01

. . . . . . . . . .

<ESC>ID02

. . . . . . . . .

the last number transmitted will be used.
