[CAUTION] *When DTR/DSR control is selected, the printer transmits the status after the HOST is ready to
receive data. Thus, the printer waits until the HOST is ready if the HOST is not to receive data.
*XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer transmits the status without confirming if the HOST is
ready to receive data.
*This command is executed when the print buffer is developed. Thus, there may be time a time lag
between receiving the command or transmitting the status depending on the receive buffer status.
*This command is ignored if n is out of defined range.
