Interface Signals
		Pin no.		Signal Type		Direction			Contents
		1		nSTROBE		Input	To scan data, make sure that the pulse width of the
							strobe pulse is set to more than 1 µs.
							The regular status is “High”, however, if it is “Low”, the
							data will be scanned in the first transition.
		2 to 9	DATA 1 to DATA 8			Input	DATA1=LSB DATA8=MSB
							Positive logic code
							ASCII or JIS7 as well as 8.
		10		nACK		Output	A low level pulse signal will be output when data
							scanning is complete to inform the host.
		11		BUSY		Output	“High” will be maintained when the Reception buffer
					Ω		has reached full or when an error occurs in the printer,
							and “Low” will be output when the printer is ready to
							receive.
		12			PE	Output	The level will become “High” when labels have run out
							and none have been set.
		13		SELECT		Output	The signal will be in “High” level when reception is
							possible, otherwise it will be “Low” level.
		32		nFAULT		Output	The signal will be in “High” level when reception is
							possible, otherwise it will be “Low” level.
