TIMED Variable

The @PJL USTATUS TIMED = XXX command enables the printer to send printer status information
to the application at the specified time period.
This time interval can be set to 0 and from 5 to 300 seconds. If set to 0, this function is turned off. If
set to any value between 5 and 300, the printer automatically sends to the application "CODE =
XXXXX" (a status code number), "DISPLAY = XXXXXXXXXX" (the message currently displayed on
the printer's control panel), and "ON LINE = XXXXXXX" ( printer's on-line/off-line status) at the
specified time interval.
Example :
The application sends the following commands to the printer.
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 30 <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X
The printer may send back the answer for the above command.
@PJL USTATUS TIMED<CR><LF>
CODE=10001<CR><LF>
DISPLAY="00 READY 001P LT"<CR><LF>
