Selecting the BUSY Status
With DIP switch 2-1, you can select conditions for invoking a BUSY state as either of the
following:
•When the receive buffer is full
•When the receive buffer is full or the printer is offline
Printer BUSY condition and status of DIP switch 2-1
*1: When the remaining space in the buffer drops to 16 bytes, the printer status becomes “buffer
full” and it remains “buffer full” until the space in the receive buffer increases to 26 bytes.
In either case above, the printer enters the BUSY state after power is turned on (including
resetting with the interface), and when a self-test is being run.
