BDC-ST Timing through the DBIN register
When State-Reply is set

by ST from a Type-B I/F, BDC-ST timing through the DBIN register is
begun. When State-Reply is begun, Start and End of BDC-ST characters are announced by sending the
main command 0Eh.
Preventing Data Transfer Time-out
Generally, hosts abandon data transfer to peripherals when a peripheral is BUSY continuously for dozens of
seconds. To prevent this kind of time-out, the printer receives data slowly, several bytes per minute, even
when the printer is in a busy state. This slowdown starts when the space left in the input buffer drops below
several hundred bytes. The printer becomes continuously BUSY when the input buffer is full.
