NOTE: If an input has caused an error to be generated, then goes
inactive, and another print request received before the error is cleared,
the printer will not print and will remain in the error state. A status
request will show the active error inputs. This condition will remain until
the error is cleared.
NOTE: Default power up will disable I/O mode.
