■ When communication with the printer uses XON/XOFF control with serial interface, the XOFF code may
interrupt the “Header to NUL” data string.
■ The transmission information for each function can be identified to other transmission data according to
specific data of the transmission data block. When the header transmitted by the printer is [hex = 37H/
decimal =55], treat NUL [hex = 00H/decimal =0] as a data group and identify it according to the
combination of the header and the identifier.
[Notes for ESC/POS Handshaking Protocol]
■ Use ESC/POS Handshaking Protocol below for Functions 2 and 5:
(*1)
Response code
(*2)
Processing according to response (unsent data exists, identified by send data set “Identification
status”)
■ Processing the codes except for ACK, NAK, and CAN performs the same processing as CAN.
