Framing Errors:
When a framing error is detected, printer will indicate warning status on the lights. Printer

Buffer Overrun Errors:
Buffer overrun errors occur when PC does not obey the selected protocol and continuous
to send data when Printer cannot accept any more data. The buffer on Printer overflows
if PC sends more than 1024 bytes of data after the interface signals that it is "Busy". The
result is lost data, since there is no way to make PC stop sending data. When a parity error
is detected, printer will indicate warning status on the lights.
