When the machine is turned on, it is in the “Waiting to receive” phase state. When printing
begins, it changes to the “Printing state” phase state and the machine sends the phase status to
the computer. When printing has finished, the machine sends the “Waiting to receive” phase status
to the computer. Unless an error occurs during printing, the machine sends the “Printing
completed” status.

not been sent from the computer. At this time, care should be taken since the “Printing state” phase
and “Waiting to receive” phase statuses will be sent. (Refer to “
