* Echoes back the specified contents from the host as is until ESC GS ETX s n1 n2, and then sends the print end
counter value and NUL.
When [Print end counter] is 1 byte in length, the initial value is 0x00.
When s = 1, increments by 1 each time the command is processed. After 0xFF, returns to 0x00.
There is one [Print end counter] in the printer that is unrelated to the n1, n2 values.
(There is no counter for the n1, n2 values.)

* This print end counter and the ETB counter sent by the ETB command are separate.
They have no affect on each other.

Function
Sends the current print end counter to the host.
(Does not wait for print end. Does not count up.)
Runs the following operations.
(1) Prints data in line buffer, if data exists.
(2) Waits until printing ends (motor stops).
(3) Updates the print end counter (increments by 1).
(4) Sends print end counter to host.
Returns the print end counter to its default value (zero clear).
(Does not wait for print end. Does not send the print end counter to the host.
(1) Sets data intake mode
(2) Initialize
(1) Prints data in line buffer, if data exists.
(2) Waits until printing ends (motor stops).
(3) Cancels data intake mode
n1=0: Initializes to the content of MSW. (n2=0)
n1=1: Data timeout setting
n2=0: Timeout disabled
Others: n2 = Data timeout time (units: seconds 1 to 255 seconds)
n1=2: Sends the current timeout setting to the host. (n2=0)
