Select or Cancel Automatic Status Back

Value of n:
Enables or disables automatic status back (ASB) and specifies the status
items. This command is a batch mode command; that is, it is processed
after all prior data in the receive buffer has been processed. There may
be a time lag between the printer receiving this command and
changing the ASB response, depending on the receive buffer status.
If any of the status items listed are selected, ASB is enabled and the
printer automatically transmits 4 status bytes whenever the selected
status changes. If no status is selected, ASB is disabled. All four status
bytes are transmitted without checking DSR.
If the error status is enabled, a change in the following conditions will
trigger the ASB:
1. Cash Drawer
2. Receipt Cover
3. Knife Error
4. Out-of-Range Printhead Temperature
5. Out-of-Range Voltage
6. Paper Exhaust Status
7. Slip Paper
