Explanation
In the CT emulation with a coax
interface, a time-out message is
sent to the host if paper is not
loaded within 10 minutes after
PAUSE was pressed to clear a
paper out fault.
The printed output may contain

characters.

the message and return it with
the defective board.

parameters to match those
of the host.
