5.13 DRIVER PROTOCOL
This transmission protocol responds the status from the printer by using Enquire commands from
the host to check the printer status.
The status is immediately responded after the Enquire command has been received.
When using this protocol, the receive buffer should be set to Multi-Job Buffer.

Caution!
In the connections, it may be necessary to loop (usually kept "High) CS and RS on the host side
depending on the type of host. Therefore, make sure to re-check the host before use.
