CHAPTER 3
INTERFACE
This chapter describes 4 types of the interface specifications which are required to connect the host device
with the printer.
Irrespective of the interface used, amount of the input buffer in the printer is 4k bytes, and transmission
buffer is 768 bytes. If the transmission buffer becomes the condition of the buffer full, the printer waits data
processing until the buffer can be received data. Be aware that printing process does not performed in that
meantime.

*1: When selecting 7 bits, the data transmission such as the status from a printer is not performed.
Also, the command that uses 80H and more parameters and character printing over 80H
are not available.
