Power: Indicates that AC power has been applied to the unit.

Line Sync: Indicates that the PQ-6 is responding to host polls.

DTR (Data Terminal Ready): This signal from the printer to the PQ-6 PLUS (RO) indicates that the printer is ready. This signal must be present for printing to proceed. You can enable flow control from the PQ-6 PLUS (RO) to the printer via XON/XOFF characters (Hex 11/Hex 13) or by dropping DTR when the printer is not able to accept more data. When used as a Centronics port, the DTR light indicates select from the printer.

Data Out: Shows the data sent to the printer from the PQ-6 PLUS.

Test: Blinks to indicates that internal tests are running. Blinks repeatedly if the select signal from the printer is not present.

NOTE

Initial setup of internal switch and jumper settings for baud rate, printer interface, etc., must have been done previously. See Section 3.1.

4.2 Setup Mode

You can configure the PQ-6’s twinax address, printer emulated, ASCII printer type, page select and command pass-through by the front panel or the internal DIP switches.

NOTE

ASCII printer type is only selectable via the front panel.
