(1) To provide compatibility with older SATO printers, the RS232C interface can be
configured to use an earlier Bi-Com 3 ENQ/ACK/NAK protocol selected via DSW2-8
and DSW1-7/8 (on the RS232C Interface module).
The earlier protocol did not have provisions for the Job Name and did not respond
to the DLE or
DCI commands. Also, there are additional Response Codes in the
Status Byte Definition. It is recommended that you use the current protocol rather
than the earlier version unless it is necessary for compatibility with existing software.
