Description:

The status flag corresponding to the listed <flag> number will be masked.

Masking a flag means that even if there is a problem with the component, no error will be reported directly.

Multiple flags may be specified in one command.Masking a status flag may result in the root cause of an error being disguised. For example, if the carriage motor cable is disconnected and the CM-BP (Carriage Motor to Backplane cable) flag is masked, the carriage will not respond, but the true cause of the problem will not be reported in an error message.
