To allow the LX 300 printer to be switched to the compressed printing mode via
the interface, it must be manually set to the draft mode via its keyboard.
5.5.6 Pin assignment of RS232 cable for the EPSON--LX 300 printer
Since the LX 300 printer does not affect the RTS pin, the RS232 standard cable
cannot be used for the LX 300 printer. The DTRpin of the interface is used instead.
