STROBE pulse to read data. Pulse
width must be more than 0.5
microseconds at the receiving terminal.
These signals represent information of
the 1st to 8th bits of parallel data,
respectively. Each signal is at HIGH
level when data is logical 1 and LOW
when it is logical 0.
About an 11-microsecond pulse. LOW
indicates that data has been received
and that the printer is ready to accept
more data.
A HIGH signal indicates that the printer
cannot receive data. The signal goes
HIGH in the following cases:
1) During data entry (ea. char. time)
2) During printing
3) When off line
4) During printer-error state
A HIGH signal indicates that the printer
is out of paper.
