Selecting the BUSY Status

With DIP switch 2-1, you can select conditions for invoking a BUSY state as either of the following:

•When the receive buffer is full

•When the receive buffer is full or the printer is offline

In either case above, the printer enters the BUSY state after power is turned on (including resetting with the interface), and when a self-test is being run.
