A Job Request returns status information about the most recently

batch. You can send two levels of Job Requests:

Example
The job response may not be immediate. If the printer has an
error (out of supplies, ribbon problem, etc.), is in pause mode, or
has insufficient memory, correct the problem and then resend the
job request. If the problem is not corrected, no response is
returned. If a formatting error has occurred, the job request will
return the status. The printer must first interpret the format and
batch data before returning the response.
To clear an error, press ENTER or ESCAPE/CLEAR, depending
on your printer. An ENQ can also clear errors numbered less than
500. Once the error is corrected, a job request can be sent. The
printer cannot accept another job request until the error is
resolved.
