2.4.3 ON/OFF LINE KEY
Pressing the 'ON/OFF LINE' key causes the printer to suspend the processing of characters
through the communication ports. If a character is sent to the printer when communicating serially,
the printer will accept the character and send another XOFF (assuming X-OFF has been enabled).
The printer will allow up to 9 characters to violate the flow control, at which time any further
characters will cause the printer to issue the buffer overflow error (show on the table below). The
Clear to Send signal is always low when OFF-LINE.
