When a device is plugged into the RS-232 port of a laser printer, what
utf-8 encoded bytes are sent to the device to request output?
I'm trying to imitate a printer's request for data through a script. I
want to programmatically request data from a medical device at home so
I can track the data from it from anywhere.
