Bit 5: Printing is stopped if the Paper-end Sensor detects a “paper out” state, or if the
printer is out of paper when the Paper Near-end Sensor is enabled by ESC c 4.
At this time, bit 5 = 1.

Bit 3: If this error occurred because of a paper jam, for example, remove the cause of
the error, and then DLE ENQ n (1 n 2) can be used to recover from the error.
However, it is not possible to recover from any error due to a circuit problem
(e.g., broken wire).
Bit 6: If a head overheat error is detected, the printing is stopped until the head
temperature falls. At this time, bit 6 = 1.
