The reply to the DA request is sent to the host only after all preceding
data (except DSR) has been processed and printed. This provides a
way for host software to determine when all preceding data has been
successfully printed.
When values are not returned, they are left out of the response
entirely (that is, there are not any blanks indicated by semicolons).
However, software should always accept blank parameters.
The printer sends parameters in ascending order. However, software
should accept the parameters in any order.
