Input data is latched after the falling edge of this
signal.
Parallel input data to the printer.
A HIGH level means data 1.
A LOW level means data O.
This pulse indicates data has been received
and
the printer is ready to accept more data. The
pulse width is approximately 12 pa.
HIGH indicates the printer cannot accept more
data.
HIGH indicates
rm~er-out. This signal is effective
only when the ERROR signal is LOW.
Always HIGH output. (Pulled up to +5V through
