• The printer transmits only one byte after confirming that the host computer
is ready when DTR/DSR protocol is selected. One byte is transmitted
without confirming the signal when XON/XOFF protocol is selected.
• When the command is buffered, a status is sent causing a possible delay
between when the command is received by the host computer and the
status sent. This is dependent on the state of the receive buffer.
• When the Enable/Disable Automatic Status Back command (1D 61) is used
to enable Auto Status Back, the status transmitted by this command
(Transmit Printer ID) and the Auto Status Back must be differentiated.
• The ROM version may depend on releases of the product.
• The command is ignored if n is out of the specified range.
