SOH A - Send ASCII Status String

This command allows the host computer to check the current printer status.
The printer returns a string of eight characters to the host, followed by a
carriage return. Each character is either a 'Y' or 'N' indicating that the
associated condition is true (Y) or false (N). Byte 1 is the first character
transmitted by the printer. See <SOH>F. (Not supported.)

function achieved when pressing the PAUSE button on the printer. ( Not
supported)

SOH C - Stop/Cancel

This command performs the same function as pressing the STOP/CANCEL
button on the printer's front panel. This function clears the current label format
from the print buffer, pauses the printer, and illuminates the pause/stop
indicator. (Not supported.)

The internal firmware architecture no longer requires the execution of an
"SOH" shutdown for binary downloading. (Obsolete command.)
