Does CASP “handshake” with their serial Epson compatible printers?
Handshaking is user selectable and is determined by the Printer Code in Table 099, 7th item, first bit. If the first bit is “0”, no handshaking occurs. If the first bit is “1” then full RS-232 handshaking is enabled. The latter is the recommended condition, particularly if the user is printing all of the battery parameter tables or doing large data dumps, otherwise some data loss may occur. Handshaking is required when the printer buffer becomes filled while a data stream continues to be transmitted.
