out OUT
Pulse width is about 12
µ
sec. Low level
means that data is received and the
printer is ready for receiving more data.

BUSY Printer
state OUT
High level out means that printer is busy
and can’t receive data. High level is out
from this pin on the following condition:
1. When data is being imported;
2. At the time of printing;
3. When the printer is offline;
4. When error happens.

At low level, the printer will change to the
next line to print automatically after one
line printing is finished.

When the printer is in state of paper out,
offline condition or error, this signal level
becomes low.

Only when this signal level is low, can
the data be put into the printer.
The “direction” in the title panel means the flow direction of printer signal to the printer.
“Return” in the title panel means returning by pair-twist. You must confirm that the interface
cable is pair-twist shielding line, and every signal line is looped with ground line and pair-twisted
together. Shielding line should be connected with the frame ground of host computer and
printer.
All the interface condition is based on TTL level. The rising and falling time of signal must be
less than 0.2 ms.
The data transfer must comply with the specification of ACK or Busy signal. Only when the level
of ACK or Busy signal is low can data be transferred.
