Basic Timing for Pausing

The basic timing for pausing is as follows.
Idling/

PRINTER
READY
DATA READY
START PRINT
Pause
END PRINT
∗ Once 1 second has elapsed to wait for data, the head is capped. When the head is capped, it takes about 2 seconds
to start printing after the start print signal is given for the next print job.
The pin 10 start print signal is indicated when level mode is set, and the pin 18 end print signal is indicated
when Mode 1 (= the printer feeds paper during Low) is set.
When transitioning from the Print state to the Pause state, or from the Pause state to the Print state, the pause
signal must have an interval of 1 second or more.
