status
The control unit (CU) is communicating with the interface card
(within past 30 seconds).
The CU is not communicating with the interface card.
The program attention (PA) manual option (see Appendix A,
command 35) is active and the printer received a request (from
the host software) for a PA button to be pressed by the user so
printing can continue.
The user pressed and released both buttons at the same time
(for less than 1 second) sending a cancel message to the host.
The interface encountered problems during its self test.
(The red LED goes off after a normal self test.)
