5.3 Description of Input/Output Signals(1) Input signal
•DATA 1 to DATA 8 . . . 8 bit parallel signal (positive logic)
•STB . . . Strobe signal for reading out data (negative logic)
•RESET . . . Signal for resetting the entire unit (negative logic 4 ms or more)
(2) Output signal
•ACK . . . 8 bit data signal for requesting data. ACK is issued at the end of the
BUSY signal (negative logic)
•BUSY . . . Signal indicating the printer is busy. Input new data when the signal
is in “LOW” condition (positive logic)
•SELECT . . . Signal to indicate this equipment is in the SELECT (ready for
communication) state (positive logic)
“LO”is output in the state deselected by the operation panel (SEL-
SW), mechanical error, or memory error.
•P.N.E. . . . Signal to be output for paper-near-end
(3) Other
•GND . . . Ground commonly used in the circuit
•FRAME GND . . . Frame ground (case ground)
(4) Timing chart
Busy signal timing: Clear timing can be selected by the memory switch.
ACK signal timing: The following kinds of timing can be selected by the memory
switch setting.
