Check CRC
Causes the printer to calculate the CRC for the currently selected sector. This is
performed normally after downloading a sector to verify that the downloaded
firmware is correct. The printer also calculates the CRC for each sector during
power up and halts the program if any sector is erroneous.
The printer transmits ACK if the calculated CRC is correct for the selected
sector; NAK if the CRC is incorrect or if no sector is selected.
