6.1.3I/O SIGNALS
(1)Input Signals to the Printer
•DATA :
• STB : Strobe signal to read
•RESET : Signal to reset the entire printer (negative logic) 1m sec or more
(2)Output Signals from Printer
•ACK : An 8 bit data request signal. Pulse signal output at the end of the BUSY signal. (negative logic)
•BUSY : The signal to indicate BUSY state of the printer. Input new data for "LOW". (positive logic)
•FAULT : The signal which is made "LOW" when the printer is in alarm state. All the control circuits inside the printer are stopped at this time.(negative logic)
• PE | : The signal which is output when paper runs out or goes scarce. (positive logic) |
•Drawer Switch Output: With the switch open, this signal goes "HIGH". When shorting, this goes "LOW".
(3)Power supply
• +5 V DC | : This is 5V pulled up by a 3.3kΩ resistor. |
• GND | : This is the common ground for the circuit. |
