B Connectors and Allocation

Signal

This section describes the parallel interface (centronics/IEEE1284-compliant inter- face).

Shape of the connector

The printer is installed with the IEEE 1284-B type of interface. The shape of the connector is as follows:

18 1

Pin arrangement

36

19

The pin arrangement of the various signals when bidirectional is OFF is as follows:

Pin No.	Signal name	I/O	Pin No.	Signal name	I/O
1	nStrobe	I	19	Signal Ground	-
2	Data1	I	20	Signal Ground	-
3	Data2	I	21	Signal Ground	-
4	Data3	I	22	Signal Ground	-
5	Data4	I	23	Signal Ground	-
6	Data5	I	24	Signal Ground	-
7	Data6	I	25	Signal Ground	-
8	Data7	I	26	Signal Ground	-
9	Data8	I	27	Signal Ground	-
10	nAck	O	28	Signal Ground	-
11	Busy	O	29	Signal Ground	-
12	PError	O	30	Signal Ground	-
13	Select	O	31	nInit	I
14	nAutoFd	I	32	nFault	O
15	(RESERVED)	-	33	(RESERVED)	-
16	LogicGND	-	34	(RESERVED)	-
17	Chassis Gnd	-	35	(RESERVED)	-
18	Peripheral Logic High	O	36	nSelectIn	I

• Looking from the printer, I is the input signal, O is the output signal, - is not a signal.

• When bidirectional is ON, the connection adheres to the IEEE 1284-B connector
