either on line or off line condition depending on user preference. When

margin and place it on line.
2.5.16 Feature 43 - SERIAL INTERFACE DISABLE
When set to 1, Feature 43 causes the printer to ignore any data sent to it over the
serial interface. If both the parallel interface and serial interface are coimected
this feature may be set to prevent the possibility of erroneous characters entering
the FIFO buffer.
2.5.17 Feature 44 - AUTOMATIC PRINT DISABLE
The printer uses Feature 44 to allow the user to enable (or disable) an automatic
print feature.
When Feature 44 is set to 0, the printer will automatically print any characters
which have accumulated in the print buffer after a one-second delay period. Note
that the one-second timer is reset upon the receipt of each new character. Thus,
the auto-print feature will not activate a print cycle unless there is more than one
second between two characters. Further, the logical position of the printer is not
disturbed; no paper motion occxms and any characters sent later will be printed in
their proper colunm.
