6.3.3 Printer Controller Mode
Printer Controller mode allows
the
host
to
pass
all data through
the
terminal
to
the
printer
without
affecting
the
terminal screen. In effect,
the
terminal acts
as
a
controller
for
the
printer
by
using the
XON/XOF
F synchronization codes
to
limit
the
transmitted data
to
a
rate
that
the
printer
can accept.
6.3.4
Auto
Print Mode
Auto
Print mode allows a variable number
of
lines
to
be
output
to
the
printer
in
a manner
consistent
with
the DEC
VT-52
terminal. In most
cases
this
mode
will
be
used
only
when
the
VISUAL
100 terminal
is
operating in
VT-52
mode. When
Auto
Print mode
is
entered,
a received LF code
causes
the
line containing the cursor
to
be
output
to
the
printer. Each
line transmitted
to
the
printer
will
be
ended
with
the
CR/LF
codes
or
the
CR
code
as
the
LF suppress feature dictates. The
XON/XOFF
synchronization codes
will
be
used
in
Auto
Print
mode.
See
Table 6-2.
