Status Response Definition

Status Response Generator Example

A host computer sends out an ENQ character to request the printer's status.
The host computer expects to receive an ACK character when the job has
finished, or a NAK character if the printer is printing.
In the CST Manager, click Status Response Definition. The Status
Response Generator dialog box opens. See Figure 160.
You can define the protocol conditions in the upper half of this window. This
protocol, along with other available protocols, will be listed in the lower half.
From this list, the correct protocol is selected during the creation of a CST.
NOTE: You must add protocol conditions before you can add a protocol.
For now you will only define a single protocol.
1. Use a descriptive name for the first condition that should be tested.
In the Name field, type job_printing.
