(a) Centronics bidirectional parallel interface
This is an interface conforming to IEEE-1284 and provides either of unidirectional and
bidirectional communications according to each of the following communication modes.
•
Compatibility mode
Unidirectional communications from the host to the printer.
•
Nibble mode
This mode transmits 4-bit wide data from the printer to the host. In this mode, each
1-byte data is transferred in the form of two nibbles using ERROR, BUSY, FAULT,
and SELECT signal leads. This mode can provide the bidirectional operation in
combination with the compatibility mode.
•
ECP mode
This mode provides the asynchronous bidirectional interface and transmits and
receives 1-byte data using eight data signal leads under the semi-duplex control by
the host.
When the power is turned on, the compatibility mode is automatically selected. The
change to another mode from the compatibility mode is made through negotiation.
(When the BI DIRECTION is set to ENABLE in the menu, this change can be performed.)
(For the electrical/physical characteristics of this interface, see APPENDIX A)
(b) OKI HSP interface (Option)
This interface (slot) is an OKI unique universal interface that provides the platform to
connect various boards (such as the LAN connection expansion board and SCSI
expansion board).
Any expansion boards compatible with this interface can be mounted on the Control
board in the piggyback board without modifying the program at the printer side. The
conceptual diagram of the OKI HSP interface is shown in Fig. 2-2.
