Input

 

 

Data Strobe

 

 

• Strobe pulse for reading data (Data 1

 

 

 

(DSTB)

 

to Data 8). The printer reads data

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when this signals is low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• The pulse width must be 1 µs or more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

at the printer’s receiving terminal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Host Clock

 

This signal is set high when the host

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

requests the reverse data transfer phase

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(nibble mode).

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.
