3.Serial interface timing

a)Receive data

Either DTR/DSR or XON/XOFF control is selectable. Changes in DTR signal and XON/XOFF transmission are as follows:

[DTR MARK]

The period from when the power is turned on to when

 

the printer first becomes ready to receive data.

 

In an error state.

 

When the remaining space in the receive buffer be

 

comes 10 bytes.

 

When feeding paper with the paper feed switch.

 

In paper feed switch waiting state with <GS FF>

 

command.

 

In paper feed switch waiting state during macro ex-

 

ecution.

 

When printing down-loaded bit image with <GS />.

[DTR SPACE]

When the printer first becomes ready to receive data

 

after power-on.

 

When the remaining space in the receive buffer be

 

comes 20 bytes.

[XON Transmission] When DTR becomes SPACE.

[XOFF Transmission] When DTR becomes MARK.

b) Transmit data (Status information transmission)

When DTR/DSR control is selected, data is transmitted after confirming that DSR is SPACE. When DTR/DSR control is not selected, data is transmitted regardless of the DSR state.
