NOTES: 1. A prefix “n” to signal names refers to “L” active signals. To the host not provided
with all the signal lines listed above, both-way communication fails.
2. For interfacing, signal lines shall use twisted pair cables with the return sides
connected to signal ground level.
3. Interfacing conditions shall be all based on the TTL level to meet the
characteristics described below. In addition, both rise time and fall time of each
signal shall be 0.5µs or less.
4. Data transmission shall not ignore the signals nAck or Busy. An attempt to
transmit data with either signal, nAck or Busy, ignored can cause lost data.
(Data transmissions to the printer shall be made after verifying the nAck signal or
while the Busy signal is at the “L” level.)
5. Interface cables shall be the minimum length required and as short in length as
possible.
