Fig. 4-29 Video Interface Signals

• nRDY signal (Ready)

This signal is issued by the printer engine control section to the video con-

trol section to show that it can start or continue printing.

• nPRNT signal (Print)

This signal is issued by the video control section to the printer engine con-

trol section to instruct start or continuation of printing. The video control

section sends this signal when one full page worth of data is present and

the nRDY signal state is “Low.” When the printer engine control section

receives this signal, it prepares the printer for printing by rotating the pho-

tosensitive drum and picking up the recording paper, for example.

• nTOP signal (Top Of Page)

This is the vertical scanning (vertical direction) sync signal for the LASER

beam, and is used for printing the start of the image (first line) at an appro-

priate position on the recording paper.
