C.1. Parallel Interface

Detailed descriptions of the signals follow.

Strobe* [nStrobe] (Pin 1)

A negative-going Strobe* pulse causes the printer to read and latch the data on the Data 0 [1] to Data 7 [8] signal lines.

Data 0 [1] to Data 7 [8] (Pins 2 to 9)

These eight signals form the data byte sent from the host computer to the printer. Data 7 [8] is the most sig- nificant bit.

Acknowledge* [nAck] (Pin 10)

This negative-going pulse acknowledges the previous character received by the printer. Acknowledge* pulses are sent only when Busy is low.

Busy [Busy] (Pin 11)

This signal is high when the printer is busy and low when it is able to accept more data. Every high-to-low transition is followed by an Acknowledge* pulse.

Paper Empty [PError] (Pin 12)

This signal goes high when the printer runs out of paper.

On-Line [Select] (Pin 13)

This signal is high when the printer is on-line and low when the printer is off-line. It goes low when the upper unit is raised, or when the ON LINE key is pressed to set the printer off-line.

☛The Paper Empty and On-Line signals are not used unless enabled by the FRPO command (O2 param- eter).

+5V DC (pin 18)

This line is connected to the printer's +5V DC line (+5V ±0.5V, 250 mA maximum, fused.)

Prime [nInit] (Pin 31)

This signal is used in the standard Centronics interface to enable the computer to reset the printer.

Error* [nFault] (Pin 32)

When the high-speed parallel line control is on (FRPO O2=2), this line returns error status.

Auxiliary output 1 (Pin 33)

This signal line is not used.

Power Ready (Pin 35)

This signal is high when the printer's power is on.

Select In [NSelectIn] (Pin 36)

This signal is used in some versions of the Centronics interface to enable the computer to force the printer on-line. In high-speed mode, it is used as an interrupt.
