1. OUTLINE OF THE SYSTEM
EM10-33006A
READY/BUSY (RTS) Protocol
When initialized after power on, this printer becomes ready to receive data and converts
the RTS signal to "High" level (READY).
The printer converts the RTS signal to “Low” level (BUSY) when the blank positions in
the receive buffer amount to 800 Bytes or less.
The printer converts the RTS signal to “High” level (READY) when the blank positions
in the receive buffer amount to 2 KB or more.
When there are no blank position in the receive buffer, the printer discards data received
which exceed the receive buffer capacity, without storing it in the buffer. (After detecting
a BUSY signal, the host computer must stop transmission before the printer receive
buffer becomes full.)
Both the DTR signal output from the printer and the DSR signal output from the PC are
always “High”.
NOTES:1.
When performing the flow control with Windows, in the port setting screen,
select “Hardware” for flow control. [set to the READY/BUSY (RTS) protocol]
2. Under the READY/BUSY (DTR) protocol, after turning the printer power ON,
send data 200ms after the DTR signal is converted to “High” level (READY).
And under the READY/BUSY (RTS) protocol, after turning the printer power
ON, send data 200ms after the RTS signal is converted to “High” level (READY).
