DR300 Operator Manual Chapter 10 - Serial Interface Ready/Busy This is the hardware flow control for the serial interface on the DR printers. By raising/lowering the voltage level on Pin 20 of the RS232 port, the printer notifies the host when it is ready to receive data. Pin 40 (RS) and Pin 20 (DR) are the important signals on the printer for this method of flow control. The host must be capable of supporting this flow control method for it to function properly.
DR300 Operator Manual Chapter 10 - Serial Interface XON / XOFF X-on/X-off flow control must be used whenever hardware (Ready/Busy) flow control is not available or desirable. Instead of a voltage going high/low at pin 20, control characters representing “Printer Ready” (X-on = 11 hexadecimal) or “Printer Busy” (Xoff = 13 hexadecimal) are transmitted by the printer on pin 2 (Transmit Data) to the host. In order for this method of flow to function correctly, the host must be capable of supporting it.
DR300 Operator Manual Chapter 10 - Serial Interface 2 : Input/Output Signal Explanation Pin No. 1 2 3 7 Signal Name FG SD RD SG Direction Output Input - Contents Frame ground Data to be transmitted from printer to host Data to be transmitted from host to printer Signal ground Status 3 Protocol 1 : Status-3 protocol enables host to have full control of the printer by knowing the printer status. Printer sends status immediately upon receiving enquiry command from host.
DR300 Operator Manual Chapter 10 - Serial Interface Status Transmission Printer sends status based on 2 types of command. Status Request Command and Print Command. Following are details description on each command. 1 : Status Request Command Printer status consists of ID No., status, remaining print quantity. Printer sends all spaces (20 Hex) as ID and all “0” as remaining print quantity under the following conditions: • End of printing • No print data a) b) STX Command Status format ID No.
DR300 Operator Manual Chapter 10 - Serial Interface Remarks : • For status “S’ & “U”, remaining print quantity may not be set depending on the timing of data analyze and edit • Print quantity may be different when printer is processing sequential numbering. 2 : Cancel Request Command When receive Cancel Request Command from host, printer will clear all receive buffer contents after completion of current print job. Printer will send print end status.
