Output

• Pulse signal indicating data reception completed

(or data reception enabled) status

 

 

 

(ACK)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Issued when the printer switches from offline to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

online

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Printer Clock

 

Reverse data transfer phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This signal goes high when data being sent to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

host is established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reverse idle phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This signal is set low then goes high to interrupt the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

host, indicating that data is available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11

29

 

Busy

Output

Data cannot be received when this signal is high,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

e.g., if the buffer is full or an error occurs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Printer Busy

 

Reverse data transfer phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data bit 3, data bit 7, then forward path (host to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

printer) busy status

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12

28

 

Paper Empty (PE)

Output

This signal goes high if paper runs out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ack Data Req

 

Reverse data transfer phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data bit 2, then data bit 6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reverse idle phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This signal is set high until the host requests data

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and, after that, follows the Data Available signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13

28

 

Select (SLCT)

Output

This signal goes high when the printer is selected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(online), and goes low when the printer is deselected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(offline).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

X Flag

 

Reverse data transfer phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data bit 1, then data bit 5

Auto Feed XT

Input

Reserved (*1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Host Busy

 

Reverse data transfer phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This signal is set low when the host can receive data,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and goes high when the host has received data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following a reverse data transfer, the interface enters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the reverse idle phase when the Host Busy signal goes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

low and the printer has no data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reverse idle phase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This signal goes high when the Printer Clock signal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

goes low so that the interface re-enters the reverse

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

data transfer phase. If it goes high with the 1284

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Active signal low, the 1284 idle phase is aborted and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the interface returns to the compatibility mode.
