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.
