The following diagram illustrates DTR Protocol Timing. Legend: 1 The RTS signal is driven directly by the RS-232C line driver and is active any time power is supplied to the printer. 2 The DTR signal becomes active (high) when initialization is complete, telling the computer that the printer is ready to receive data. 3 DTR drops (low) to tell the computer that the printer buffer is full or the printer is busy and data transmission should stop. If the computer continues to send data after the printer lowers the DTR signal, data could be lost. DTR is raised (high) when the printer is again ready to receive data. XON/XOFF Protocol Timing When you select this flow control protocol, the printer sends an XOFF command to the host to indicate that the printer cannot receive more data because it has one of the following conditions: • Buffer full • Attendance error (paper out, printer error) • Printer is not in ready state The following diagram illustrates XON/XOFF Protocol Timing. Legend: 1 Data received when DSR is low is invalid and discarded. 102 Section 6: Using the Printer Interface
