Status and error messages
The CSI sequences described in the following section are either issued by the
program and acknowledged with appropriate responses or, depending on the
processing situation, are automatically generated by the document printer and
transmitted to the processor:

The internal message buffer of the document printer is limited to ap-
prox. 30 status messages. When this buffer is full, messages subse-
quently generated are ignored (cleared). For this reason, care must be
taken in the application program that the messages are loaded and
evaluated at appropriate intervals.
