SRP-350 3-5-1(f) S/W Flow Control When XON/XOFF flow control is selected, the printer transmits XON(ACSII 11h) or XOFF(ASCII 13h) signal through the TXD line. If the Printer is BUSY, the Printer transmits XOFF(ASCII 13h) to host through the TXD line. Then the host recognize that the Printer is BUSY. So, the host does not transmit a data to the Printer. If the Printer is released from BUSY, the Printer transmits XON(ASCII 11h) to host through the TXD line.
