(1) X-ON/X-OFF system (see figure)
This is a control system in which the data transmission request
signal (X-ON (11H) code) and the data transmission stop request
signal (X-OFF (13H) code) are output.
Requirements of output of X-ON code:
• When the power is switched to ON
• When the remaining buffer is less than 2K bytes, and after
outputting the X-OFF, the remaining buffer is more than 4K bytes
Requirements of output of X-OFF code:
• When a printer error occurs
• When the remaining buffer is less than 2K bytes
