DSR
Input
This signal indicates whether the host computer can
receive data.
SPACE indicates that the host computer can receive
data. MARK indicates that the host computer
cannot receive data.
When DTR/DSR control is selected, the printer
transmits data after confirming this signal (except if
transmitted using some ESC/POS commands).
When XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer does
not check this signal.
The printer is reset when the signal remains MARK for
a pulse width of 1 ms or more.

DTR
Output
1) When DTR/DSR control is selected, this signal
indicates whether the printer is BUSY.
SPACE status
Indicates that the printer is ready to receive data.
MARK status
Indicates that the printer is BUSY. Set BUSY conditions
with the memory switch.
2) When XON/XOFF control is selected, the signal
indicates that the printer is properly connected and
ready to receive data from the host. The signal is
always SPACE, except in the following cases:
During the period from when power is turned on to
when the printer is ready to receive data.
During the self-test.
25
INT
Input
The printer is reset if the signal remains at SPACE for a
pulse width of 1 ms or more.
