7.6.4. TIMED variable

The @PJL USTATUS TIMED = XXX command enables the printer to send printer status information to the
application at the specified time period.

This time interval can be set to 0 and from 5 to 300 seconds. If set to 0, this function is turned off. If set to
any value between 5 and 300, the printer automatically sends to the application "CODE = XXXXX" (a status
code number), "DISPLAY = XXXXXXXXXX" (the message currently displayed on the printer's control
panel), and "ON LINE = XXXXXXX" ( printer's on-line/off-line status) at the specified time interval.

Example

The application sends the following commands to the printer.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>

@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 30 <CR><LF>
