NOTE:
The parallel connector is a DDK type DHA-36 or equivalent.
The column heading ‘DIRECTION’ refers to the direction of signal flow as viewed
from the C82315* interface.
‘RETURN’ denotes the twisted-pair return, to be connected at signal ground level.
For the interface wiring. be sure to use twisted-pair cable for each signal and to
complete the connection on the return side. The cable should be shielded and
connected to the chassis of the host computer and printer.
All interface conditions as based on TTL levels. Both the rise and the fall times
of each signal must be less than 0.2 u sec.
