Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer
transmission is held up awaiting an ACK character from the receiving
unit. By default, ENQ/ACK is disabled.
XON/XOFF is a protocol where the communication is controlled by
the control characters XON (ASCII 17 dec.) and XOFF (ASCII 19 dec.)
being transmitted on the same line as the data. XON/XOFF can be
enabled/disabled separately for data received from the host by the printer
(printer sends XON/XOFF) and for data transmitted to the host from
the printer (host sends XON/XOFF).
XOFF is sent from the printer when its receive buffer is fi lled to 75%,
and the transmission from the host is held, waiting for an XON charac-
ter. When enough data have been processed so the receive buffer is fi lled
only to 50%, the printer sends an XON character and the host resumes
transmitting data. The same principles apply to XON/XOFF sent by the
host, even if the percentage fi gure may differ. By default, XON/XOFF is
disabled for data in both directions.
New Line
Selects the character(s) transmitted from the printer to specify the switch-
ing to a new line. There are three options:
• CR/LF ASCII 13 + 10 dec. (default)
• LF ASCII 10 dec.
• CR ASCII 13 dec.
Receive Buff er
The receive buffer stores the input data before processing. Default size is
1024 bytes.
Transmit Buff er
The transmit buffer stores the output data to be transmitted before trans-
mission. Default size is 1024 bytes.
