This communication protocol communicates with the host computer to see if the printer is ready to
receive data by sending “XON”(HEX 11H) or “XOFF”(HEX 13H) code to SD line.
When this communication protocol is set, receive mode is set to multi item buffer.
When the print data (STX ESC+“A”~ESC+“Z” ETX) has been sent from the host computer in the
