The status byte sent to the host is defined as follows:BIT Use7.6 05 14 03 1 = printer fault2 1 = IGP busy1 0 = offline, 1 = online0 1 = serial input buffer exceeds xoff/onSerial HotportGives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously. Itallows the printer to service hosts attached to the serial, parallel, and either coax ortwinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.Trickle TimeThis functionality prevents an attached host from timing out. To support thisfeature, the port has to be able to accept data from the host and store it for futureuse. The selected value is the time that the printer waits before getting the nextbyte of data from the host. Set the value to be less than the host time out value. Ifthe value is too much shorter, the printer fills up its buffer too fast. This function isnot applicable for C/T Hotport.v ¼ Sec (the default)v ½ Secv 1 Secv 2 Secv 4 Secv 8 Secv 16 Secv OFFChapter 4. The Configuration Menus 141
