* This bit indicates that a status code is available. Use <ESC><ENQ><1> or
<ESC><ENQ><E> to fetch it.
** This bit tells you that there are data in the printer that have not yet been printed.
There are two possible reasons for that:
1) The last command received by the printer was not a command that triggers a
printout.
2) The printer is printing.
*** When parallel cable is connected, both printer and host computer must have been
off to set this bit. This is because the interface powers the RAM in the printer.
**** Read external code with <ESC><ENQ><E>.
***** This paper-near-end bit differs from the <ESC><ENQ><2> response, see ESC
ENQ 2 on page 57.
