Selecting the BUSY Status
With DIP switch 2-1, you can select conditions for invoking a BUSY state as either of the
following:
When the receive buffer is full
When the receive buffer is full or the printer is offline
Printer BUSY Condition and Status of DIP Switch 2-1

If the print density is set to “Darker than standard” or “Dark” level, print speed may be
reduced.
The print density can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) or the customized value. (See
"Setting the Memory Switches (Customized Value)" on page 63
.) The default setting of
the customized value is “Depends on the DIP switch settings.” If the customized value is
changed, the value set with the customized value is enabled.
In either case above, the printer enters the BUSY state after power is turned on (including
resetting with the interface) and when a self-test is being run.
