Signal Name

Ball No.

Type

Description

Mux

 

 

 

 

 

ACK#

B18

I

Acknowledge. Pulsed low by the printer to indicate that it

TFTDE+FPCICLK

 

 

 

has received data from the Parallel Port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

AFD#/DSTRB#

D22

O

Automatic Feed. When low, instructs the printer to auto-

TFTD2+INTR_O

 

 

 

matically feed a line after printing each line. This signal is

 

 

 

 

in TRI-STATE after a 0 is loaded into the corresponding

 

 

 

 

control register bit. An external 4.7 KΩ pull-up resistor

 

 

 

 

should be attached to this ball.

 

 

 

 

Data Strobe (EPP). Active low, used in EPP mode to

 

 

 

 

denote a data cycle. When the cycle is aborted, DSTRB#

 

 

 

 

becomes inactive (high).

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUSY/WAIT#

B17

I

Busy. Set high by the printer when it cannot accept

TFTD3+F_C/BE1#

 

 

 

another character.

 

 

 

 

Wait. In EPP mode, the Parallel Port device uses this

 

 

 

 

active low signal to extend its access cycle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ERR#

D21

I

Error. Set active low by the printer when it detects an

TFTD4+F_C/BE0#

 

 

 

error.

 

 

 

 

 

 

INIT#

B21

O

Initialize. When low, initializes the printer. This signal is

TFTD5+SMI_O

 

 

 

in TRI-STATE after a 1 is loaded into the corresponding

 

 

 

 

control register bit. Use an external 4.7 KΩ pull-up resis-

 

 

 

 

tor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PD7

A18

I/O

Parallel Port Data. Transfer data to and from the periph-

TFTD13+F_AD7

 

 

 

eral data bus and the appropriate Parallel Port data regis-

 

PD6

A20

 

TFTD1+F_AD6

 

ter. These signals have a high current drive capability.

 

 

 

 

PD5

C19

 

TFTD11+F_AD5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PD4

C18

 

 

TFTD10+F_AD4

 

 

 

 

 

PD3

C20

 

 

TFTD9+F_AD3

 

 

 

 

 

PD2

D20

 

 

TFTD8+F_AD2

 

 

 

 

 

PD1

A21

 

 

TFTD7+F_AD1

 

 

 

 

 

PD0

C21

 

 

TFTD6+F_AD0

 

 

 

 

 

PE

D17

I

Paper End. Set high by the printer when it is out of

TFTD14+F_C/BE2#

 

 

 

paper.

 

 

 

 

This ball has an internal weak pull-up or pull-down resis-

 

 

 

 

tor that is programmed by software.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SLCT

C17

I

Select. Set active high by the printer when the printer is

TFTD15+F_C/BE3#

 

 

 

selected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SLIN#/ASTRB#

B20

O

Select Input. When low, selects the printer. This signal

TFTD16+

 

 

 

is in TRI-STATE after a 0 is loaded into the corresponding

F_IRDY#

 

 

 

control register bit. Uses an external 4.7 KΩ pull-up resis-

 

 

 

 

tor.

 

 

 

 

Address Strobe (EPP). Active low, used in EPP mode to

 

 

 

 

denote an address or data cycle. When the cycle is

 

 

 

 

aborted, ASTRB# becomes inactive (high).
