Exceptions
The command is ignored if n is out of range.
An application using DLE (0x10) sequence must send EOT within 100 milliseconds of DLE or the printer will misinterpret
the DLE and execute a clear printer command. Avoid this possibility by using the ID 04 n sequence, which is handled
exactly the same as 10 04 n.
Unlike the A793, that had a dedicated connector and resultant dedicated status reporting for each cash drawer, the A799
has a single connector that shares data reporting from either cash drawer. When either cash drawer is open, an open status
is reported by the printer.
