INTERFACE STATUS (SOH + IG)
Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an ASCII IG
causes the printer to return a 1 byte Interface Status Word bounded by an STX-ETX
pair that reports the type of interface connection currently set in the printer.
SERIAL INTERFACE SETTINGS (SOH + H2)
Upon Receipt of an SOH (hexadecimal 01) followed immediately by an ASCII H2
causes the printer to return a 5 byte Serial IF Status Word bounded by an STX-ETX
pair that reports the current operating parameters of the Serial RS232 Interface.
