A. Specifications
❏ Parallel interface specifications
• Input connector (36-pin parallel)
Notes: 1. HIGH is pulled up to + 5V by 2.2k Ω resistor.
2. LOW is pulled down to GND by 2.2kΩ resistor.
3. NC stands for no connection.
4. CHASSIS GND and GND are connected in the printer.
5. SELECT IN signal is HIGH to accept a control code.
