Psion Teklogix MLP 3040 Series manual IrDA Interface, XON/XOFF Handshaking, ETX/ACK Handshaking

Printer Configuration

XON/XOFF Handshaking

Possible Values: Off*, On

XON/XOFF Off

This feature enables or disables the XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) character handshaking method used to control data flow from the host system to the printer. When enabled, an XOFF character will be sent by the printer whenever the printer’s input buffer is nearly full. An XON character will be sent whenever the printer’s input buffer becomes nearly empty or if the control panel Setup Mode has been exited.

ETX/ACK Handshaking

Possible Values: Off*, On

ETX/ACK Off

This feature enables or disables the ETX/ACK character handshaking method used to control data flow from the host system to the printer. When enabled, an ACK character will be sent by the printer after an ETX character has been received and processed out of the input buffer. ETX characters used for handshaking cannot be part of an escape sequence.

RTS/CTS Handshaking

Possible Values: Off, On*

RTS/CTS On

This feature enables or disables the RTS/CTS hardware handshaking method used to control data flow from the host system to the printer. When enabled, the printer will activate the RTS signal whenever the printer’s input buffer becomes nearly empty or when the printer’s control panel Setup Menus are active. The RTS signal will be deasserted whenever the printer’s input buffer becomes nearly empty or Setup Mode has been exited.

Likewise, the printer will not send data to the host system if the host has asserted the CTS signal.
