Star Micronics LC24-300 Printer User Manual


 
The only other thing to remember is the buffer memory.
The LC24-300 Colour contains memory which can be
used as a print buffer (page 57) which must be cleared
(“Clearing the buffer” on page 43) if a print job is to be
halted. The SPC-8K also contains a buffer, which must
also be cleared if you are to halt a print job successfully.
You clear the SPC-8K’S print buffer by pressing the but-
ton recessed in the body of the SPC-8K.

The following information is provided for use if your
computer does not have a standard 25-pin serial
connector. If you computer does have a standard 25-pin

you will either have to buy or make your own cable. If
you are in doubt, show the chart below to your com-
