• If even one of the status items is enabled, the printer sends the status when this
command is executed. After that, each time a status that is enabled changes, that
status is sent. At that time, each status expresses the current status, so it is possible
that a status that is not enabled for ASB will change.
• If every status is disabled, the auto status sending function (ASB function) is dis-
abled.
• If the ASB function in the initial state is enabled, the status at the point when
communications were first enabled after the power was switched on is sent.
• The 4-byte status shown below is sent without confirm whether the host is ready to
receive or not. Except for the XOFF code, the 4-byte status is always continuous.
• This command is executed when the receiving buffer is developed, so there is a
possibility of delay between the reception of the command and sending of the
status due to the status of the receiving buffer.
• Even at times when the printer specification is disabled due to peripheral device
selection (ESC =), if the status changes, the 4-byte status is sent.
