Printer interfaces 142 Data flow control The following lines accomplish data flow control: • Data Set Ready (DSR) • Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Available data flow control protocols: • DTR pacing • DTR/DSR • XON/XOFF • XON/XOFF/DTR • XON/XOFF/DTR/DSR Your printer supports two modes in which both hardware and software data flow control protocols are performed. In XON/XOFF/DTR mode, the printer uses both XON/XOFF and DTR pacing. When XON/XOFF/DTR/DSR mode is active, the printer uses both XON/XOFF and DTR/DSR pacing. Robust XON may be selected when the data flow control protocol for the serial port is set to XON/XOFF, XON/XOFF/DTR, or XON/XOFF/DTR/DSR pacing. The printer sends a continuous stream of XON signals to the host computer to indicate that the serial port is ready to receive more data. The following conditions exist when the signals continue: • No data has been received across the serial port in the last second. • The host computer accepted the last XON. • The printer is ready to receive data. For more information about selecting the protocol from the control panel or through MarkVision Enterprise, see the documentation that came with your printer.
