Data received when DSR is low is considered invalid and will be discarded. 
2
CTS is required in order for the XON/XOFF protocol to work, because CTS is 
required in order for data transmission to occur. After Reset, when CTS is detected, 
an XON will be sent. 
3
However, PC is not required to detect this initial XON before transmitting data to 
Printer.
4
Printer transmits an XOFF to indicate to PC that the receive buffer is full.
5
An XON will be transmitted to PC when buffer space is again available, and the 
printer is ready to receive more data.
6
And if data is sent from Host more after outputting XOFF, XOFF will be output 
every 16bytes receiving.
