(1)  Transmission Control 
 
Code that is transmitted immediately before text. 
Code that is transmitted immediately after text. 
This enquiry code is used when the external device checks 
whether the IJ printer is ready for signal reception. This code 
must be transmitted before data transmission to the IJ printer. 
When the IJ printer is ready for reception, the "ACK" code is 
transmitted after ENQ code reception. If the IJ printer is not 
ready for reception, the "NAK" code is transmitted. 
①①When the IJ printer is ready for reception, it transmits this 
code in response to an "ENQ" code reception from the 
external device. 
②This code reports that text reception is normally completed. 
When the 1-byte transmission mode prevails, this code is 
positioned at the end of 2-byte code for transmission 
purposes. 
When the 1-byte transmission mode prevails, this code is 
positioned at the beginning of 2-byte code for transmission 
purposes. 
This code is positioned at the beginning of printings for each 
print item for transmission purposes. 
This code is transmitted if the printings need to be changed 
before the printing of the contents transmitted to the IJ printer 
while the overwrite-protected mode prevails. After receipt of 
this code, the IJ printer transmits the ACK code and becomes 
ready for reception. However, if the IJ printer is off-line, the 
"NAK" code is transmitted. 
The same as DC2. 
However, when receiving DC3, the IJ printer terminates 
printing forcibly. 
NAK 
(negative 
acknowledgment) 
①①The IJ printer transmits this code if it is not ready for 
reception when it receives the "ENQ" code from the external 
device. 
②This code reports that text reception is not normally 
completed (when, for instance, the received data is in 
transmission error or an unregistered print data number is 
received). 
This code is positioned at the beginning of a header for 
transmission purposes. The header is a code that recognizes 
the transmission data type and is transmitted next to STX.
