2 Communication Protocol

2.1 Communication protocols and Receive Mode

There are 2 kinds of receive mode; single item and multiple, and the receive mode will be different according to the combination of the
interface and the communication protocol.
・Single item receive
Single item (ESC A - ESC Z) can be received after the previous single item has printed.
・Multiple receive mode
Enabling receiving data up to near full size during printing.
・Bidirectional communication (Status 2, Status 3, Status 4, Status 5)
Monitoring printer status and perform data communication.
・Unidirectional communication (READY/BUSY)
Data communication is controlled by the hardware.
・Refer to each interface section for details of READY/BUSY, XON/XOFF, Status 3, Status 4 and Status 5.
Available communication protocol is as follows.
