Receipt synchronization

This function makes it possible for the user to select whether to enable or to disable receipt synchronization printing.

When "Receipt synchronization" is enabled (Mode1 or Mode2), printer returns the status for buffered status command after completion of the print operation.

The following commands are the buffered status command.

1B 75 0 Transmit Peripheral Device Status

1B 76 Transmit Printer Status

1D 49 n Transmit Printer ID

1D 72 n Transmit Status

Regarding Mode1 and Mode2, the command/status sequence is completely the same. The only difference is the printing speed. The printing speed of Mode1 is the same as in normal printing (max. 12ips).

Whereas, the printing speed of Mode2 is 4ips (max) in order to prevent the clatter print in the synchronized line mode.

When Mode3 is selected, the following command will be available.

When "Receipt synchronization" is disabled, printer returns the status for buffered status command immediately after decoding the status command.
