Description Dynamic status can be used to allow the host to sense status changes
without sending repeated inquire commands. The operation of the
dynamic response varies depending on the configuration of the printer. If
the printer is configured for serial or USB operation the status is
automatically returned to the host. If the printer is configured for parallel,
IEEE 1284 operation, the HOST must initiate a reverse channel request
to return the status.
For mechanical error status to function, the "Buffer Full
Only" off line option should be selected.
Note The electronic journal status follows the format of the
[ENQ]<25> response and reports the amount of electronic
journal memory remaining.
