Paper Empty [PError] (Pin 12)

This signal goes high when the printer runs out of paper.

On-Line [Select] (Pin 13)

This signal is high when the printer is on-line and low when the printer is off-line. It goes low when the upper unit is raised, or when the ON LINE key is pressed to set the printer off-line.

Note______________________________________________________________________

The Paper Empty and On-Line signals are not used unless enabled by the FRPO command (O2 parameter).

Auto-Feed [nAutoFd] (Pin 14)

This signal is used in the Epson version of the Centronics interface to receive a carriage return. In high-speed mode, it is used as an interrupt.

+5 V DC (Pin 18)

This line is connected to the printer’s +5 V DC line (+5 V ±0.5 V, 250 mA [Serial and Parallel total] maximum, fused).

Prime [nInit] (Pin 31)

This signal is used in the standard Centronics interface to enable the computer to reset the printer. It is ignored by the printer.

Error* [nFault] (Pin 32)
