  • Page 104 Appendix A System Interface Description Additional Information After Power-ON DTR and RTS are activated and the printer is ready to receive data. XOFF is sent, when the interface buffer has only space left for 256 more charac- ters. XOFF is sent again, at a level of 128 characters buffer space. Further incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer is full.

  • Page 105: Parallel Centronics Interface

    When the interface buffer is full except for the last character, BUSY will not be reset. BUSY will be reset when buffer space is available again for least 512 characters in the interface buffer. While the printer is offline (Stop Mode) BUSY remains active until the printer enters the online state again.

  • Page 106: Transmission Protocol Description

    The BUSY signal is only reset if space is available in the interface buffer for a minimum of 512 characters. While the printer is offline, or a serial interface is active BUSY remains high and no ¯¯¯¯...

    Appendix A System Interface Description 3. Shared Operation In shared operation the interface buffer capacity is reduced by 256 bytes. After Power-ON both the serial and the parallel interfaces are available for data transfer. If a byte is first recognized by the serial interface the parallel interface is imme- diately disabled by the BUSY signal.
