Refer to the corresponding explanations under "Command Format."
The largest block of data that can be transmitted as a single frame is 131
characters. A command or response of 132 characters or more must there-
fore be divided into more than one frame before transmission. When a trans-
mission is split, the ends of the first and intermediate frames are marked by a
delimiter instead of a terminator.
Dividing Commands (Host Computer to PC)
As each frame is transmitted by the host computer, the computer waits for the
delimiter to be transmitted from the PC. After the delimiter has been transmit-
ted, the next frame will then be sent. This procedure is repeated until the
entire command has been transmitted.

Dividing Responses (PC to Host Computer)
As each frame is received by the host computer, a delimiter is transmitted to
the PC. After the delimiter has been transmitted, the PC will transmit the next
frame. This procedure is repeated until the entire response has been transmit-
ted.
