Additional Information
After Power-ON DTR is activated and the printer is ready to receive data.
DTR is deactivated when the interface buffer has only space left only for 256
more characters. Further incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer
is full. All data sent in addition will get lost.
DTR is activated again if there is a free interface buffer space of 512 characters.
DTR is immediately deactivated, if local mode is entered.
It is activated again, if local mode is left and a minimum of 512 bytes interface
buffer is available.
