Bit 4 can be used in place of the Command Complete. When the buffer is
empty, the system can assume that everything stored in the printer has
been completed. To enable these status messages, unsolicited status must
be enabled. See "Asynchronous (real-time) commands" on page 161.
ESC + n or X'1B2B;n'
n The ASCII representation of the character printed in the first

error. This occurs in impact print stations only.
n = 2A hex (This is an asterisk (*) in most code pages.)
The value is stored in EEPROM to prevent loss when the printer is reset.
The default value after the reset is the value last sent.
