· When n is equal to 0, the ASB function is ineffective.
· The following four status bytes are transmitted without confirming whether
the host is ready to receive data.

· Even the printer is disabled by ESC = (Select peripheral device), the four
status bytes are transmitted whenever the status changes.

recover.
