c) If the printer receives a <DC1> n code (n is the DIP
switch controlled address) during the addressable
mode (with DIP switches 4-1 to 4-4 set other than
settings a) and b) above,), the deselect mode is canceled
and data following this code is input to the buffer.
Note that addressable mode is valid only when op-
tional RS-422A interface is installed.
(2) When using parallel interface printer;
When the printer receives a <DC1> code, the deselect
mode is canceled and data following this code is input to
