Buffer full cancellation in DTR mode (the following is an example in the
Combination mode).
A) Buffer set to “big size” (4K-bytes) (set with dip switch 2-3)
When available space drops below 256 bytes, DTR is set to “MARK.” When
data in the buffer drops below 256 bytes, DTR is set to “SPACE.”
B) Buffer set to “small size” (45-bytes) (set with dip switch 2-3)
When available space drops below 16 bytes, DTR is set to “MARK.” When data
in the buffer drops below 16 bytes, DTR is set to “SPACE.”
