The printer outputs the “Printing in progress” status only upon receipt of a status
request command. The printer issues the “Printing finished” status when printing
finishes, but never in response to a status request command. All other statuses are
issued both when the event occurs and upon request.
A “system error” indicates one of the following: 1 cutter error, 2 communica-
tion error, or 3 command error.
