1.3.4 Complement Item
PREVENTION HOSTS FROM DATA TRANSFER TIME-OUT
When data is received from the parallel interface or the type B interface while no error has
occurred (including the pause condition), the printer receives data a rate of 2 byte/second
while buffer free space is less than 16 kbytes in order to prevent host timeout.
When buffer free space is more than 32kbytes, the 2 byte/second receive rate is cleared, and
receive is halted when free space reaches 16 bytes, and returns to the 2 byte/second rate
when free space reaches 512 kbyte or more.
INTERFACE SELECTION
The printer has the parallel interface, the USB interface, the optional interface-1, and
optional interface-2.
These interfaces are selected manually by the default setting mode or selected
automatically.
n
Manual selection
One of 4 interfaces can be selected; the parallel interface, the USB interface, the
optional interface-1, and optional interface-2.
n
Automatic selection
Select a interface which the printer received data first after power ON. If it passes 10
seconds after interruption of data receiving, it will be idle status (any interface is not
selected ) and will select a interface which the printer received data first.
n
Interface state and interface selection
When the parallel interface is not selected, the interface goes into the busy status.Only
reverse communication can be done at this time.
When the printer is initialized or returned to the idle state, the parallel interface
becomes ready status, the USB interface becomes non NACK reply status, and the
option interface resets OFF-LINE bit of Main Status Register (MNSTS).
INIT signal on the parallel interface is not effective while that interface is not selected
or nibble Mode, ECP Mode.
