DTR Output Handshake
This pin sends DTR signal (asynchronous mode) or Clock signal
(synchronous mode) from the printer to the computer.
In asynchronous mode, the printer indicates when it is ready to receive
information from the computer. Data transmission is enabled when DTR
Output Handshake is set on (+5V) by the printer. Data transmission is
disabled when DTR is set off (-5V) by the printer.
In synchronous mode, the printer sends the Clock signal to synchronise the
transmission between the printer and the computer.
