OUT

A LOW pulse of

 

 

 

 

 

minimum width of

 

 

 

 

 

4 µsec. A LOW

 

 

 

 

 

indicates that data

 

 

 

 

 

has been received

 

 

 

 

 

and that the printer

 

 

 

 

 

is ready to accept

 

 

 

 

 

more data.

OUT

A HIGH signal

 

 

 

 

 

indicates that the

 

 

 

 

 

printer cannot

 

 

 

 

 

receive data. The

 

 

 

 

 

signal goes HIGH

 

 

 

 

 

when it is off line; or

 

 

 

 

 

in the error state,

 

 

 

 

 

when serving the

 

 

 

 

 

IBM host and a byte

 

 

 

 

 

of parallel data is

 

 

 

 

 

received; or during

 

 

 

 

 

data entry.
