These signals represent the 1
st
bit to 8
th
bit of the parallel
interface data, each signal is at
HIGHT level when data is
logic 1, and LOW when data is
logic 0.
10 /ACK Out
Answer pulse, LOW level
signal indicates that data have
already been received and the
printer gets ready to receive the
next data.
11 BUSY Out
HIGH level signal indicates
that the printer is BUSY and
can not receive data.
12 PE
Out
HIGH level signal indicates
that paper is end.
13 SEL
Out
Pulling up to HIGH level
signal by a resistor indicates
the printer is online.
15 /ERR
Out
Pulling up to HIGH level
signal by a resistor indicates
there is no error.
