and transmission are possible at the first time from when the printer is turned on.
The following four status bytes are transmitted without confirming whether the host is ready to
receive data. The four status bytes must be consecutive, except for the XOFF code.
Since this command is executed after the data is processed in the receive buffer, there may be a
time lag between data reception and status transmission.
When using DLE EOT, or GS r, the status transmitted by these commands and ASB status must be
differentiated.
The status items to be transmitted are as follows:

Bit 5: 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. wire
break) occurs, it is impossible to recover.
Bit 6:
