3–37Configuring the Printer
Serial Interface

Host Protocol

Values: NONE or XON/XOFF. This must be set to match your host
computer. The factory default is NONE.
XON means transmit on and XOFF means transmit off. In XON/XOFF protocol,
the printer sends ASCII code DC1 (Device Code 1, hex 11, XON) to the host
system when it is ready to receive more data (i.e., the printer is on line and the
data buffer is empty). The printer sends ASCII code DC3 (Device Code 3, hex
13, XOFF) when it is
not
ready to receive data (i.e., the buffer is full or the printer
is off line).
