Xon/Xoff Flow Control
Host systems that use a simple three-wire RS232 connection (TXD, RXD,
GND) accomplish flow control by using Xon/Xoff or Robust Xon/Xoff. The
printer supports these modes and may be selected from the Operator Panel.
When using a three-wire RS232 connection, the printer must still detect the
DSR signal as ON. This requirement is addressed by adding a jumper between
RTS (pin 5) and DSR (pin 20) on the DB25 male connector on the printer
(Figure 9).
