			2) When XON/XOFF control is selected:
			The signal indicates whether the printer is correctly connected and
			is ready to receive data. SPACE indicates that the printer is ready
			to receive data. The signal is always SPACE except in the
			following cases:
			• During the period from when the power is turned on to when the
			printer is ready to receive data
			• During the self-test
25	INIT	Input	Changing the DIP switch setting enables this signal to be used as a
			reset signal for the printer.
			The printer is reset when the signal remains SPACE for 1 ms or more.

*1 • Definition of “receive buffer full”

•When the receive buffer capacity is specified to 4 KB (DIP SW1-2 is Off):

•If the DIP SW2-5 is off, when the remaining space in the receive buffer drops to 128 bytes, the printer status becomes “buffer full” and it remains “buffer full” until the space in the receive buffer increases to 256 bytes.

•If the DIP SW2-5 is on, when the remaining space in the receive buffer drops to 128 bytes, the printer status becomes “buffer full” and it remains “buffer full” until the space in the receive buffer increases to 138 bytes.

•When the receive buffer capacity is specified to 45 bytes (DIP SW1-2 is On):

•Regardless of the DIP SW2-5 setting, when the remaining space in the receive buffer drops to 16 bytes, the printer status becomes “buffer full” and it remains “buffer full” until the space in the receive buffer increases to 26 bytes.

•The printer ignores the data received when the remaining space in the receive buffer is 0 bytes.

2.1.1.4 XON/XOFF transmit timing

When XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer transmits XON or XOFF signals as follows. Transmit timing differs depending on the DIP SW2-1 setting.

Table 2.1.2 XON/XOFF Transmit Timing

	Printer status	DIP SW 2-1 status
		ON	OFF
XON	① When the printer goes online after turning on the power (or	Transmit	Transmit
transmission	reset using interface)	Transmit	Transmit
	② When the receive buffer is released from the buffer full state
	③ When the printer switches from offline to online	—	Transmit
	④ When the printer recovers from an error using the	—	Transmit
	DLE ENQ 1 or DLE ENQ 2 commands		Transmit
XOFF	⑤ When the receive buffer becomes full	Transmit
Transmission	⑥ When the printer switches from online to offline	—	Transmit

NOTES: • The XON code is <11>H and the XOFF code is <13>H.

•In case ③, XON is not transmitted when the receive buffer is full.

•In case ⑥, XOFF is not transmitted when the receive buffer is full.
