Handshaking

Handshaking by DTR signal or X-on/X-off. The DTR signal changes to

mark - meaning the printer is not ready to receive data - when the

number of bytes free in the input buffer goes down to 256. The signal

changes to space - meaning that the printer is now ready - when the

number of bytes in the input buffer rises to 528.
Error handling
A * character is printed if a parity error is detected. All other errors are

ignored.

Connector
