it receives from the computer, and the off-line state, in which it stores the data for printing later.

Going off-line may or may not halt communication between the printer and computer, depending on details
of the current interface. While off-line, the printer continues to accept any data that arrives until the current
interface buffer is full, at which point it instructs the computer to stop sending data. Data stored while off-
line are printed when the printer is returned to the on-line state.
