SPACE indicates that the host can receive data, and MARK indicates that the host cannot receive data.
Confidential *1) • When the remaining space in the receive buffer drops to 128 bytes, the printer status becomes "buffer full" and it remains "buffer full" until the space in the receive buffer increases to 256 bytes. • The printer ignores the data received when the remaining space in the receive buffer is 0 bytes. 2.1.1.4 XON/OFF transmission timing When XON/OFF control is selected, the printer transmits XON or XOFF signals as follows. Transmission timing depends on the setting of DIP switch 1-8.
Confidential 2.1.1.6 Notes on setting DIP switch 1-8 to on 1) The printer mechanism stops but does not become BUSY in the following cases: • When an error occurs. • When the printer stops printing due to a paper-end. • When paper is fed using the FEED button. 2) When handshaking with the printer while using this switch setting, make sure to monitor the printer with the GS a command and the ASB function. With this switch setting, the default value of the GS a command n is 2.

Confidential APPENDIX A: MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 1) Print duty • When printing exceeds the allowable print duty cycle, the printer automatically detects the print head temperature rise, stops logic-seeking, and enters full-column print head movement operation. This stops the temperature rise by lowering print duty. If the print head temperature continues to rise, the printer stops the print head. In this case, the user should be aware that the printing speed may slow significantly.

Confidential APPENDIX D: NOTES ON USING THE DRAWER KICK-OUT CONNECTOR 1) Drawer specifications (see Section 2.2.3, Drawer kick-out connector) Drawer specifications differ significantly depending on manufacturer and model number. Make sure that the specifications of the drawer used meet the following conditions when connected to the drawer kick-out connector. These conditions also apply to any equipment (other than a drawer) that is connected to the drawer kick-out connector.

ON OFF t1 × 2 ms Figure D-1 t2 ≥ (t1 × 4) × 2 ms Drawer Drive Signal Waveform (Formulas D-1 and D-2) The ON time depends on the specifications of the drawer used. Be sure to check the drawer specifications and set a suitable time. To use a drawer that does not meet the conditions of Formulas D-1 and D-2, see the following section.
Confidential An example program in which the drawer connected to drive signal 1 is driven with an ON time of 200 ms is shown below.
