If the/dev/ttyj11 is used for a TTY, it has to be enabled before you wouldlike to print data through /dev/lpj11 to a printer that connected to theterminal that is operated via /dev/ttyj11.The channel for TP data that is uni-directional is used to transmit thedata from a host to a terminal only. The differentiates of TTY dataand TP data in the same serial line is that TP data are encapsulatedwithin a couple of PRINT-ON and PRINT-OFF escape strings thatare recognized by connected terminals. The PRINT-ON and PRINT-OFF is defined by connected terminals.The scheme to multiplex a serial line for these two channels is basedon time-division method. The time slices for TTY or TP data aregenerated according to the entry procedure, polling, in the PCCOMdriver, which is periodically called by system clock.
