3255 4073 – 002 5 – 1 Section 5 Communication In order for a recei pt or slip t o be printed, a program mus t be in place t hat translat es the dat a from the hos t computer in to a language the pri nter can understand. T his program must t ell the printer exactly how t o print each character.
Communication 5 – 2 3255 4073 – 002 Exit the COPY mode by typing: CTRL Z [Enter] Once the computer know s to direct data f rom any print command to the proper port, commands can be sent f rom any software program. Using BASIC to Send Commands In BASIC, printer commands are s ent as a st ring of characters preceded by the PRINT command.
Communication 3255 4073 – 002 5 – 3 • For XON/ XOFF, a particular character i s sent back and f orth betw een the host comput er and the printer t o regulate the communicat ion. • For DT R/DSR, changes i n the DT R/DSR signal coordi nate the inf ormation flow.
Communication 5 – 4 3255 4073 – 002 DTR /DSR Prot ocol The DT R signal is used t o control dat a transmiss ion to the pri nter. It is driven low when t he printer is ready t o receive data and driven high when it cannot accept any more data. Data is trans mitt ed from the print er after it confirms t hat the DS R signal is low.
