EPSON Stylus C50/C60/C61/C62 Revision C
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION INTERFACE 19
NOTE:
In/Out refers to the direction of signal flow from the printer’s point of 
view.
Extensibility request 
The printer responds affirmatively when the extensibility request values are 00H 
or 04H, that means,
00H : Request nibble mode reverse channel transfer.
04H : Request Device ID;
  Return data using nibble mode reverse channel transfer.
