[Notes] Even if only one of the statuses is enabled, the status is sent when this command
is executed. Subsequently, whenever the state of a valid status changes, that
status is sent. In this case, because the current state is shown for each status,
there is a possibility of a state change for a status for which ASB is not enabled.
If all statuses are disabled, the Automatic Status Back (ASB) function is disabled.
When transmitting a status, the printer transmits only four bytes without
confirming the condition of the DSR signal.
Four bytes of status data must be consecutive, except for the XOFF code.
This command is executed when the data in the receive buffer is developed.
Therefore, there may be a time lag between receiving this command and
transmitting the status, depending on the receive buffer status.
When the printer is disabled by ESC = (Select peripheral device), this command
is disabled but ASB is not disabled.
When using DLE EOT, GS I, or GS r, the status transmitted by this command,
the ASB information, and the status transmitted by other commands must be

The status to be transmitted are as follows:
