DTR
O
N.C.
-
Signal output by the printer. When the DTR
signals HIGH, the RXD signal can be
received by the printer. The SelecType
setting doesn’t specify DTR control, the
signal level is HIGH while the printer power is
on. When SelecType setting is used for DTR
control,
DTR goes LOW in case of any error
conditions.
The data (RXD) from host computer must be
stopped within 256 characters after DTR
goes LOW.

TXD:
Serial ASCII data output from the printer.
It maintains “ MARK”

Logic 0 is at HIGH level (“ SPACE” ) and logic
1 is at LOW level (“ MARK” ).
TTY-TXD return:
Refer to TTY-TXD.
