Selecting the BUSY Status With DIP switch 2-1, you can select conditions for invoking a BUSY state as either of the following: • When the receive buffer is full • When the receive buffer is full or the printer is offline In either case above, the printer enters the BUSY state after power is turned on (including resetting with the interface), and when a self-test is being run. Printer BUSY condition and status of DIP switch 2-1 *1: When the remaining space in the buffer drops to 16 bytes, the printer status becomes “buffer full” and it remains “buffer full” until the space in the receive buffer increases to 26 bytes.
If DIP switch 2-1 is on, the printer will not become BUSY When error has occurred When the cover is open When paper is fed by the FEED button 30 Printer status DIP SW 2-1 ON OFF Offline During the period after power is turned on (including resetting with the interface) to when the printer is ready to receive data.
