7.6.4.

TIMED variable 

The 

@PJL USTATUS TIMED = XXX

 command enables the printer to send printer status information to 

the application at the specified time period. 

This time interval can be set to 0 and from 5 to 300 seconds.  If set to 0,  this function is turned off.  If set 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. 

Example  

The application sends the following commands to the printer. 

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF> 
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 30 <CR><LF> 
<ESC>%-12345X
