As a result the Busy condition check must be waited when transmitting data to the printer. If said condition would slow down print-out, it is alternatively possible to transmit the bytes to be printed in fixed length blocks (for example 16 bytes at a time) and to wait for the necessary time to receive a likely XON/XOFF.
