Types of communication protocol and Receive mode
The available receive mode differs depending on the combination of interface and communication
protocol.
However, the NFC communication protocol is limited to Multiple buffer mode only.
•
Multiple buffer mode
Able to receive data up to reception buffer near full size during printing
•
Bidirectional communication (Status 3, Status 4, Status5)
Monitors status of this product to carry out data communication
•
No bidirectional communication (READY/BUSY)
Hardware controls data communication
•
Please refer to each interface for the detailed description of READY/BUSY, XON/XOFF, status
3, status 4, and status 5.
