Communication

XON/XOFF Protocol

The XON/XOFF characters coordinate the information transfer between the printer and the host system. The printer sends an XON character when it is ready to receive data and it sends an XOFF character when it cannot accept any more data. The software on the host system must monitor the communication link as shown in the following flowchart in order to send data at the appropriate times.
