Status Response
The second method of determining printer status is to integrate the printer with specific
commands. The response from these commands will provide specific information about
the printer status depending upon the command. This allows the controlling application
to determine the status of a printer when it is located in a remote location.
Print Status (SOH + MG)
Upon receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an ASCII MG causes
the printer to return a 30 byte Printer Status Word bounded by an STX-ETX pair that
reports the current operating status of the printer.
