The printer output the printer status at a constant period (500 msec to 1000 msec interval) . Also, the printer
returns the latest printer status by receiving the status request command sent from the host.

The printer uses port 1024 for print data port, port 1025 for status return, and port 9100 for both print data port and
status return.
The printer returns the printer status by receiving the status request command sent from the host.
(3) Status 3, Status 5/ENQ response mode (1 port connection)
The printer uses port 1024 for print data port and status return, or uses port 9100 for both print data port and status
return.
The printer returns ACK by receiving the print request command sent from the host, and returns the printer status
by receiving the status request command sent from the host.
