Bit 5: When Paper Near-end sensor (option) is installed, Printing is stopped
if the Paper-end detector detects a “paper out” state, or if the
printer is out of paper when the Paper Near-end Sensor is enabled
by ESC c 4. At this time, bit 5 = 1.

Bit 2: In case of MSW3-8=ON, it is generated by cover-open.
At BM/Label model, it is generated by BM/Label-error.
Bit 3: If this error occurred because of a paper jam, for example, remove the
cause of the error, and then DLE ENQ n (1≤n≤2) can be used to
recover from the error. However, it is not possible to recover from any
error due to a circuit problem (e.g., broken wire).
Bit 6: If a head overheat error is detected, the printing is stopped until the
head temperature falls. At this time, bit 6 = 1.
