2.2.10 Buffer and Data Flow

This section describes the buffer and data fiow.

2.2.10.1 Buffer

There are 5 kinds of buffers: input, line, image, queue, and download. The structure of each buffer is described
as follows:

Input Buffer

Figure 2-58 shows the input buffer structure. This buffer is a lK-byte or 8K-byte ring buffer, where data and

commands from the host computer are stored. Data and commands are input by the INIT signal or by the INTSR
interruption signal generated from the CPU.

Figure 2-58. Input Buffer Structure

Line Buffer

Figure 2-59 shows the line buffer. Flags indicate the character type and enhancements, and the data up to

the printing command (data for one line) is edited.
