4.7 Interrupted Transmission Procedure
If a faulty or disconnected cable, or other problem, causes an
interruption while data is being transmitted to an external device,
the DM4 DL will resume transmission if the connection is restored
within 15 seconds. When the interrupted transmission has been
completed, review the transmitted data carefully to be sure that
no data has been lost or corrupted, or repeat the entire trans-
mission as a precaution.
If the connection is not restored within 15 seconds, DM4 DL will
abort the transmission, briefly display Abor, and return to the cur-
rently selected file number.
In this case, the entire transmission must be repeated by
following the procedure in Section 4.4, if printing data, or
Section 4.5
