Problem while trying to write to Serial Window #1 at regular intervals

Hi All,
I'm trying to write to the Serial Window #1 at regular interval of time (But not successful yet). To generate the time interval i'm using timer0 of 8051 in 16 Bit Timer Mode 0x01
The values are initialized as shown below
TH0 = 0xFF
TL0 = 0x00
In the given program below, if I comment all the printf statements It works fine, generates accurate delay as needed (as seen in Debug Session). i.e. TL0 starts incrementing for every clock tick and when it reaches 0xFF, the next clock tick sets the overflow flag which in turn calls the ISR (Interrupt_Service_Routine0), wherein I again set the timer's TH0 and TL0 value.
But if I uncomment the printf statements in the program (Func1 and Func2), I don't get accurate time delay (as seen in Debug Session). when control reaches Func1 and passes ahead of printf statement the TH0 and TL0 value changes to 0x06 and 0x52 respectively.
As I have understood the timer 0 values should be between FF00 to FFFF (as initialized in the Timer_0_Init and Interrupt_Service_Routine0)
Please do correct me if my understanding is not correct

Using Keil IDE uVision2 V2.38a
Have selected ,b>Generic->8052 (all variants),/b> in the Options for Target in Project Menu
The program is as shown below:
