Printer Status

Disabled - Printer status ignored.
ENQ and ENQ/STX
When enabled, the printer responds to an ENQ signal by sending a status
byte to the host. The type of status byte is determined by a Front Panel menu
selection. The selections allowed are ENQ and ENQ/STX. The ENQ is
removed from the data stream. The menu selection for enabling the ENQ
option may only be seen when using a feature file.
