Input
This signal indicates whether the host computer can receive
data.
SPACE indicates that the host computer can receive data.
MARK indicates that the host computer cannot receive data.
When DTR/DSR control is selected, the printer transmits data
after confirming this signal (except if transmitted using some
ESC/POS commands).
When XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer does not
check this signal.
Changing DIP switch 2-7 lets this signal be used as a printer
reset signal.
When you use this signal as the printer's reset signal, the
printer is reset when the signal remains MARK for a pulse
width of 1 ms or more.
