Status Readback Commands
Applications can request configuration and status information from the printer using
the Status Readback commands. In addition, the printer can also be instructed to send
unsolicited status information back to the host computer when asynchronous events
occur, such as a memory error or a paper jam.
To determine which commands your printer supports, see Table B-8: “Status
Readback Commands” on page B-13.

be queried. The variables supported are listed in the tables beginning on
page 3-12.

in the tables “Common Variables for Both Printer Languages” on page 3-12,
and “Printer Unique Variables for Both Printer Languages” on page 3-19.

“Common Variables for PCL Emulation” on page 3-45, and “Printer Unique
Variables for PCL Emulation” on page 3-46.)
