Description
1
nSTROBE
Input
This signal is a strobe pulse for reading
data (Data 0 to 7). The printer reads data
when this signal is low. The pulse width
must be 1 µs or more at the receiving ter-
minal.
2–9
Data 0 to 7
Input
Data 8 (pin 9) is the mostsignificant bit;
however, this pinis not used in 7-bit
ASCII communications.Logical 1 signals
must go high at least 1 µs before the fall-
ing edge of the Data Strobe signal and
must stay high for at least 1 µs after the
rising edge.
10
nACK
Output
This pulse signal indicates that the printer
has received data and is ready to accept
the next set of data.This signal is also sent
when the printer is switched from offline
to online.
11
BUSY
Output
Data cannot be received when this signal
is high. This signal is high during data
entry, when the printer is offline, when
the buffer is full, or when an error occurs.
12
Paper Empty
(PE)
Output
This signal is high when the printer is out
of paper.
13
Select (SLCT)
Output
This signal is high when the printer is
online.
14
nAUTO-
FEED
Input
Not used
31
nINIT
Input
If this signal is low for more than 50 µs,
the printer is reset to the initial condition
and is placed online. If the received data
remains in the buffer, the printer contin-
ues to print until the buffer becomes
empty.
32
nERROR
This signal is low when the printer is
offline, paper is out, or when there is a
printer error.
