[RXD (Receive data)]

Serial input data, which consists of a start bit, data bits,

(parity bit), and stop bit.

The data length (7 or 8 bits), use of the parity bit, and

even or odd parity are specified in the

EXTENDED

SETUP MODE

.

[CTS (Clear to send)]

A data transmission control signal, which indicates that

data can be sent to the computer.

Whether or not to use this signal to control data

transmission is specified in the setup mode. This signal

is not used by default.

If the X-ON/X-OFF or ETX/ACK protocol is selected

and the CTS ENABLE option is set to NO in the

EXTENDED SETUP MODE

, the printer outputs data to the

computer, regardless of this signal setting.

If the X-ON/X-OFF or ETX/ACK protocol is selected

and the CTS ENABLE option is set to YES in the

EXTENDED SETUP MODE

, the printer outputs data to the

computer according to this signal setting.

[DSR (Data set ready)]

This signal indicates the state of the modem or computer.

If data is sent to the printer when this signal is ON, the

data is processed as valid data.

Data received when this signal is OFF is ignored as

invalid data.

By default, this signal is not used, and all data sent by the

computer is processed as valid data (i.e., the default

setting causes the same operation as when the DSR

signal is ON). Whether or not to use this signal for

control is selected in the

EXTENDED SETUP MODE

.
