Status reporting commands

Status Reporting on page 69

.

A status enquiry results in response ACK (6) if all sensors are clear, but NAK (15) + code if one
or more sensors report some condition.

A status enquiry command can only return one status code at a time. If there are two or more
simultaneous conditions, each condition should be cleared and the status enquiry repeated in
order to get a complete report of all status codes.

Note •

All status commands are immediate, that is they pass the print queue and are

answered directly.

the cause is corrected.
