[Notes]

This is a Real-time command. Refer to Notes of Real-time Commands for usage note.
The status or response format is the same as the format of the related command in the table above. See the description of the related command corresponding to m.
Battery status differs depending on printer model.
This command is not affected the setting of the corresponding ASB or response. This command transmits the ASB or response only once, even if it is disabled by the related command.
This command doesn't affect the setting of the corresponding ASB or response.
