I/O Description
1
STROBE 19
I
Reading of data is performed at the falling
edge of this pulse.
2 - 9 DATA 0 - 7 20 - 27
I
Signals DATA0 - DATA7 represent data bits 0
to 7, respectively. Each signal is HIGH when
the data is logical 1 and LOW when the data is
logical 0.
10
ACKNLG 28
O
This signal is a negative pulse indicating that
the printer can accept more data.
11 BUSY 29
O
When this signal is HIGH, the printer cannot
receive data.
12 PE 28
O
When this signal is HIGH, the printer detects a
paper-out error.
13 SLCT 28
O
This signal is always HIGH when the printer is
powered on.

The falling edge of a negative pulse or a LOW
signal on this line initializes the printer. A 50
µs (minimum) pulse is necessary.
32
ERROR 29
O
When this signal is LOW, the printer had
detected an error.
