BASIC SPECIFICATIONS FOR RS-232C INTERFACE

The maximum receive buffer capacity is 128KB. When near full has occurred, 24KB remain.

When near full is released, 52KB remain.

When setting flow control to hardware, the flow control function will be activated by High RS

signal from the occurrence to the release of near full. In this case, buffer overflow can be

avoided.
