entire listing is terminated with either an additional CR+LF or 0x1A character depending on
t
he “^D550)” command configuration. The list is generated by issuing the command without
the “n” parameter. Issuing the “^D945)” command with the “?” character will always report
the “^D550)” commands configuration as “9” for VERBOSE mode because the “?” cause the
printer to report the VERBOSE descriptive text. The “n” parameter may be used to select
one item from the numbered listing to report only its current value followed by a CR+LF
(0x0D+0x0A) used for termination. The “^D945)” command listing is continually updated to
provide additional information but all new information is added to the end of the listing for
backwards compatibility.
