4.2 COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS
The command table lists all the commands for the management of the printer functions. These commands
can be transmitted to the printer with both the serial and parallel interfaces; if, however, the parallel interface
is being used, the user will not be able to receive any kind of response, as this interface is mono-directional.
The commands can be transmitted to the printer at any moment, but they will only be carried out when the
characters previously transmitted have been printed or the commands previously transmitted have been
carried out. There are no commands with priority status; all the commands are carried out when the circular
buffer is free to do so.
