Description
The STROBE pulses to read
data. Pulse width must be more
than 0.5 µseconds at the
receiving terminal.
These signals represent data in
bits 1 to 8 of parallel data,
respectively. Each signal is high
when data is logical 1 and low
when it is logical 0.
About a 12-µseconds pulse.
Low indicates that data has
been received and that the
interface card is ready to accept
more data. This signal is output
paired together with a BUSY
signal.
A high signal indicates that the
interface card cannot receive
data. The signal goes high in
the following cases:
1) During data entry (along
with each character)
2) When OFF LINE
(or PAUSE)
3) During printer-error state
A high signal indicates that the
printer is out of paper.
