[Designation] Enable/disable automatic status back
[Format] 1DH, 61H, n
[Valid limits] 0 n 255 ( n = CF : Fixed )
[Initial value] ALL value is enabled.
[Function] (1) Selects what status information to be subjected to automatic status back (ASB).
But, by this printer way, every function cannot perform effective / invalidity
setting of ASB of the (as for every bit).
N = 0x00 ( All ASB invalid ) or n <> 0x00 ( All ASB available )
Bit Function
Value
0 1
0 State of drawer kick connector pin 3 Invalid Valid
1 Online/offline Invalid Valid
2 Error condition Invalid Valid
3 Continuous forms Invalid Valid
4 To be defined --- ---

(2) Status information, if valid, is transmitted when the command is executed.
Also, this information is transmitted each time it is changed. This status
information may change even if it is not selected as a target of the ABS
function because the status bits reflect the state of the equipment in real-time.
(3) If all status bits are specified as invalid, the ASB function is disabled.
(4) If the ABS function is initially enabled, the status information is transmitted
when communication becomes possible for the first time after the power is
switched on.
(5) The 4 status bytes are consecutive except for the XOFF code.
