2.2.1.5 Parallel Interface Circuit

Figure 2-31 shows a circuit block diagram of the parallel interface. Data sent from the host

computer is latched within the E05A93 by the STROBE signal. The E05A93 outputs a BUSY signal

automatically to stop the host computer from sending additional data. The CPU resets the BUSY

signal after reading the data from the E05A93, so that the printer is ready to receive more data from

the host computer.
