DATA 1

 

 

 

I N

These signals represent information

 

21

 

DATA 2

 

 

 

I N

of the 1st to 8th bits of parallel data,

DATA 3

 

 

 

I N

respectively. Each signal is at

 

23

 

DATA 4

 

 

 

I N

HIGH level when data is logical 1

 

24

 

DATA 5

 

 

 

I N

and LOW when it is logical 0.

OUT

About a IO-microsecond pulse.

LOW indicates that data has been

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

received and that the interface

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

board is ready to accept more data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This signal is output as a pair

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

together with BUSY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUSY

 

 

 

OUT

A HIGH signal indicates that the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

interface board cannot receive data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The signal goes HIGH in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

following cases:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) During data entry (ea. car. time)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) When off line

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) During printer-error state

OUT

A HIGH signal indicates that the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

printer is out of paper.
