PAUSED on the LCD or graphics display panel, suspend printing, and wait
until one of the following occurs:
The <SOH>B command is sent to the printer.
The PAUSE Key is pressed.
Upon which the printer will turn the Paused/Stop Indicator ‘Off’ and/or

operation from the point of interruption. (If the Receive Buffer is not full,
an <XON> character will be transmitted from the printer.)
