7.6.4. TIMED variable
The @PJL USTATUS TIMED = XXX command enables the printer to send printer status information to

any value between 5 and 300, the printer automatically sends to the application "CODE = XXXXX" (a
status code number), "DISPLAY = XXXXXXXXXX" (the message currently displayed on the printer's
control panel), and "ON LINE = XXXXXXX" ( printer's on-line/off-line status) at the specified time
interval.
