XT

 

performed by inputting a CR code (in LO

 

 

 

 

 

and FX mode only). SelecType can be

 

 

 

 

 

used to produce the same effect.

INIT

IN

When this signal goes LOW, the printer

 

 

 

 

 

ignores the STROBE signal.

OUT

This level becomes LOW when the

 

 

 

 

 

printer is:

 

 

 

 

 

in a paper-out state

 

 

 

 

 

off line

 

 

 

 

 

in an error state.
