This signal indicates whether the host computer

can receive data.

SPACE indicates that the host computer can

receive data, and MARK indicates that the host

computer cannot receive data.

When DTR/DSR control is selected, the printer

transmits data after confirming this signal (except

when transmitting data by DLE EOT, and GS a).

6 DSR Input

When XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer

does not check this signal.
