Signal level

RS-232C: Conforms to EIA

Handshaking

The printer’s serial interface can use DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal levels and XON/XOFF communication protocols either separately or in combination. When the vacant area for data in the

input buffer drops to 128 bytes, the printer outputs an XOFF code or sets the DTR signal level to low (MARK, indicating that it cannot receive more data).

Once the vacant area for data in the buffer recovers to 256 bytes, the printer outputs an XON code or sets the DTR flag to high (SPACE), indicating that it is again ready to receive data.

Error handling

A l character is printed if a parity error, framing error, or over-run

error is detected.-
