Warning: The E-3202 is not designed to accommodate continuous, unbuffered data streams while in PAPER
mode. Application programs or data streams that prohibit the E-3202 from processing interrupts
correctly may produce unexpected or unreliable results. If it is necessary to send a continuous
stream of data to the E-3202, the application program must provide a pause of 250ms (duration)
after every LINE of characters to allow the processor time to check for any possible error or fault
conditions.
