Do not use character pacing (delay for each character) or any
other delay while sending the autobaud sequence. Wait one
second after sending the autobaud sequence before sending any
commands (including setting flow control) or data to the printer.
During this time, the hardware is being changed to the new
settings.
3.
To select flow control and finalize communications, send the
communication settings packet. Or, use the Optional Entry
method described in Chapter 6, "Printing."
Example
{
I
,F,,,,,3 p }
This packet sets the flow control parameter to XON/XOFF, without
changing the current communication settings established with
Autobaud.
