BUFFER OPERATION
When there is no space left in the buffer (4Kb or less), the EPSON Stylus Pro
9000 sends the host a BUSY signal. If the host receives this signal for a long
time, it times out and stops sending data.

Functional Description
1 HostClk 19 I Host clock signal.
2-9 Data0-7 20-27 I
The DATA0 through DATA7 signals
represent data bits 0 to7, respectively. Each
signal is at high level when data is logical 1
and low level when data is logical 0. These
signals are used to transfer the 1284
extensibility request values to the printer.
10 PeriphClk 28 O Printer clock signal

PeriphAck/
PtrBusy
29 O
Printer busy signal and reverse channel
transfer data bit 3 or 7.
12 AckData Req 28 O
Acknowledge data request signal and
reverse channel transfer data bit 2 or 6.
13 Xflag 28 O
X-flag signal and reverse channel transfer
data bit 1 or 5.
14 HostBusy 30 I Host busy signal.

19-30 GND Ground for twisted pair return
31 /INIT 30 I Not used.
32 /DataAvail 29 O
Data available signal and reverse channel
transfer data bit 0 or 4.
33 GND Ground for twisted pair return
34 NC Not connected
