Interfaces

Your matrix printer offers the possibility of operating either via a parallel or via a optional serial interface. This appendix informs you about the parallel Centronics compatible interface and the serial interface type RS232C/V.24 and describes the communication between your computer and the printer.

These interfaces are linked to form a so-called shared interface. Your printer can be configured to use only one interface or both alternately. When only one interface is used, it is monitored by the printer. If the printer is configured to use both interfaces simultaneously it monitors both interfaces for incoming data. As soon as the printer recognizes a signal it switches to the respective interface and sends the BUSY signal to the other interface. After finishing the data transmission, the printer remains switched to the interface for a certain period of time (30 se- conds). When this time has elapsed, the controller reenables both interfaces and the sequence described restarts. If incoming data is on the other interface and the current print position is not “Top of Form”, a form feed is carried out.
