6.2 Explanation of Terms
1) Receive buffer
The receive buffer is a buffer that stores, as is, the data received from the host (the receive data).
The receive data is stored in the receive buffer temporarily, and is then processed sequentially.
2) Print buffer
The print buffer is a buffer that stores the image data to be printed.
3) Print buffer full
This is the state where the print buffer is full. If new print data is input while the print buffer is full,
the data in the print buffer is printed out and a line feed is executed. This is the same operation
as the
LF
operation.
4) Start of line
The start of line state satisfies the following conditions:
• There is no print data (including spaces and portions of data skipped due to
HT
) currently in
the print buffer.
