2.1.1.7 Notes on Resetting the Print er Usi ng the Interface
The printer can be reset using interface pins 6 and 25 by changing the DIP switch setting. ( See
Section 3.3.3, DIP switch 2.)
Table 2.1.3 Reset Switching
Signal Line DIP Switch Reset Condition
Pin 6 (DSR) DSW 2-7: ON MARK level input
Pin 25 (INIT) DSW 2-8: ON SPACE or TTL-HIGH level input
To reset the printer, the following requi rements must be satisfied.
• DC characteristics:
Table 2.1.4 Reset DC Characteristics
Pin 6 (DSR) Pin 25 (INIT)
Reset active voltage VA -15 to -3 V +2 to +15 V
Reset negative voltage VN +3 to +15 V -15 to + 0.8 V
Reset active current IA -5.3 mA (maxim um) 1 mA (maximum)
Reset negative current IN -5.0 mA (maxim um) -2 mA (maximum)
Input impedance RIN 3 kΩ (minimum)
• AC characteristics:
Minimum reset pulse width: TRS 1 ms (minimum)
• W hen using pin 6 (DSR) (DIP switch 2-7 is ON):

NOTES: 1. When a signal that does not satisfy the requirements above is input, pr inter operation is
not guaranteed. W hen a signal is input to pin 25 (INIT) at t he TTL level, the
requirements above must also be satisfi ed. Although a signal i s input to pin 6 (DSR) at
the TTL level, according to t he DC c har ac teristics described above, the operation i s not
guaranteed and pin 6 cannot be controlled.
2. W hen pin 6 (DSR) and pin 25 (INIT) are open, the pri nt er is operating.
