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
FEED
button.
2. When handshaking with the printer while using this switch setting, be sure to monitor the
printer with the
GS a
command and the ASB function.
With this switch setting, the default value of the
GS a
command
n
is 2. This automatically
transmits the printer status, depending on online/offline changes.
3. When using the
DLE EOT
or
DLE ENQ
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
and
DLE ENQ
commands cannot be used.
