2.1.2.8 Notes on setting DIP switch 2-1 to ON
(1) The printer mechanism stops but does not become BUSY in the following cases:
• When an error occurs.
• When the cover is open.
• When the printer stops printing due to a paper end.
• When paper is fed using the FORWARD/REVERSE button.
(2) When handshaking with the printer while using this switch setting, make sure to monitor the
printer with the GS a command and the ASB function.
With this switch setting, the default value of GS a command n is 2. This automatically
transmits the printer status, depending on online/offline changes.
(3) When using the DLE EOT, DLE ENQ, or DLE DC4 command, make sure that the receive
buffer does not become full.
• Notes on using a host that cannot transmit data when the printer is BUSY:
If an error occurs when the receive buffer is full and the printer is BUSY, the DLE EOT,
DLE ENQ, or DLE DC4 commands cannot be used.
• Notes on using a host that can transmit data when the printer is BUSY:
If a DLE EOT, DLE ENQ, or DLE DC4 command is used while sending bit-image data,
and the receive buffer-full state is encountered during transmission of the data, the DLE
EOT, DLE ENQ, or DLE DC4 is processed as bit-image data.
In addition, the data transmitted during the receive buffer-full state may be lost.
Example of use:
Set the receive buffer to 4 KB, and check the status with GS r for each line of printing
transmitted. Make sure that the data for printing each line does not cause the printer to
enter the receive buffer-full state.
