n:= {1,2,3,4}
n := 0 Reading cuts
n := 1 Reading the total operational performance of the printer mechanism in 1/10 meters.
Example: 000001A9 = 425, 42,5m paper length
n := 2 Reading operation time in abt. 1/10 hours
Example: 000001A9 = 425, 42,5 operation hours
n := 3 Reading paper length since last change of paper roll in 1/10 meters
Paper end sets the counter to zero.
n := 4 Reading the last 10 error messages. Not realized. Output is always "XXXXXXXXXX".
