7)Description of input/output signals Compatible Mode

Data Strobe [Input]

This signal is used to read DATA1 to DATA8. The signal becomes valid after the BUSY signal goes Low and the printer outputs an ACKNLG signal. This signal is normally High. After it goes Low, the printer receives data. When the signal remains Low, the printer does not operate until it goes High.

Data1 to 8 [Input]

The printer receives data with the DATA STROBE signal.

The state of each bit of the signal must be maintained for at least 0.5µs from the rising edge of the DATA STROBE signal.

Acknlg [Output]

This signal is a response signal to the DATA STROBE signal.

The host computer does not send the next DATA STROBE signal until this signal is sent.

When the power is turned on or the BUSY signal goes Low for the input of the INIT signal, this signal is sent regardless of the DATA STROBE signal.

Busy [Output]

When this signal is High, the printer is BUSY; when Low, the printer is READY. The printer receives data at least 1 Byte when Data Stobe signal is input in the case Busy signal goes to "H" regardless of receiving data.

The signal is High in the following cases:

When receiving data

When input buffer is full

When INIT signal is input

When carriage is in cartridge replacement position

During manual cleaning

When an error occurs (paper-out, paper jam, etc.)

During soft power on/off sequence

During internal initialization

PE [Output]

This signal goes High when the printer cannot feed paper. The BUSY signal goes High and the SELECT and FAULT signals go Low.

This signal goes Low when the reset key was pressed and paper is loaded and fed. The FAULT and SELECT signals then go from Low to High.

If paper is not ejected (paper jam) after an eject operation, this signal and the BUSY signal go High, and the SELECT and FAULT signals go Low. In this case, the signals do not change even if the paper is removed manually.

Select [Output]

The printer is READY when this signal is High.

This signal goes Low when an error occurs (paper-out, paper jam, etc.) or when the carriage is in the cartridge replacement position.

Fault signal goes to low 50ms after Busy signal goes to high.

Auto Feed XT [Input]

This signal is only used for the transition from compatible mode to negotiation mode.
