● Parallel interface [DATA1 to DATA8] Each of these signals is an 8-bit data signal. It is high when the signal is logic 1 and low when the signal is logic 0. DATA1 is the LSB, and DATA8 is the MSB. [STROBE] This is a strobe signal for reading an 8-bit data signal.
[BUSY] This signal indicates that the printer is in the busy state. While it is high, no external data is accepted. This signal is set to high in any of the following cases: (1) Initialization is being performed. (2) The STROBE signal is issued and data is input.
● Serial interface 7-5 — 7. Interface specifications — Serial interface Pin configuration Input connector (25-pin serial connector) 1 32 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 15 14 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 .
[RXD (Receive data)] Serial input data, which consists of a start bit, data bits, (parity bit), and stop bit. The data length (7 or 8 bits), use of the parity bit, and even or odd parity are specified in the EXTENDED SETUP MODE . [CTS (Clear to send)] A data transmission control signal, which indicates that data can be sent to the computer.
● Serial interface [CD (Carrier detect)] This signal indicates whether the modem is connected with the communication line. If data is sent to the printer when this signal is active, the data is processed as valid data. Data received when this signal is inactive is ignored as invalid data.
Any of four handshaking protocols is selected in the extended setup mode. - DTR protocol - X-ON/X-OFF (I) protocol - X-ON/X-OFF (II) protocol - ETX/ACK protocol Control of these serial protocols is based on the free area in the data buffer.
● Serial interface In this protocol, the printer sends the X-ON(11)H and X- OFF(13)H codes to the computer to indicate the printer state. In the X-ON/X-OFF protocol, the printer sends X-OFF(13)H to .
(1) If the ONLINE key is pressed in the offline state and the free area in the buffer is over the CIN value, 1) The printer sends X-ON and enters the online ready state if it was in the ready state. 2) The printer sends no signal and enters the online busy state if it was in the busy state.
● Serial interface Upon reception of ETX(03)H, the printer sends ACK(06)H to the computer to indicate that it is ready. If the printer is busy, it does not send ACK to indicate that it is busy. If the free area in the buffer is less than the CIN value when the printer receives ETX, the printer does not send ACK immediately.
