Data Strobe
(DSTB)
Host Clock
Description
• Strobe pulse for reading data (Data 1 to Data 8).
The printer reads data when this signal is low.
• The pulse width must be 0.5 µs or more at the
printer’s receiving terminal.
This signal is set high when the host requests the
reverse data transfer phase (nibble mode).
