3255 4073 – 002 5 – 1 Section 5 Communication In order for a receipt or slip t o be printed, a program mus t be in place th at translat es the dat a from the hos t computer int o a language the print er can understand. This program must tell t he printer exactly how t o print each character.
Communication 5 – 2 3255 4073 – 002 Exit the COPY mode by t yping: CTRL Z [Enter] Once the computer knows t o direct data from any print command to the proper port, commands can be sent from any sof tware program. Using BASIC to Send Commands In BASIC, printer commands are sent as a stri ng of characters preceded by t he PRINT command.
Communication 3255 4073 – 002 5 – 3 • For XON/XO FF, a part icular character is sent back and fort h between t he host computer and t he printer to regul ate the communication. • For DTR/ DSR, changes in the DTR/ DSR signal coordinat e the inf ormation flow.
Communication 5 – 4 3255 4073 – 002 DTR/D SR Prot ocol The DTR s ignal is used t o control data t ransmissi on to the print er. It is driven low when t he printer is ready to receive dat a and driven high when it cannot accept any more data. D ata is trans mitted f rom the printer af ter it conf irms that the DSR s ignal is l ow.
