3 PIN CONNECTIONS The A104SB has three external connectors or connection areas, for data and power, auxiliary power, and the printer mechanism. The locations of these connectors, and the overall PCB outline and fixing positions, are designed to be identical to those of the A160B. There are also some onboard jumpers.
3.5 Mechanism Connector J2 The A104SB is normally supplied without any connector here, or with a flat 0.1” pitch jumper cable. J2 Pin no Function Reed switch input Reed switch return (0V) Motor return (0V) Motor drive output Solenoid common return (0V) Solenoid D output Solenoid C output Solenoid B output...

5.2 Busy Output Signal The controller asserts the Busy output when the input buffer is one character away from being full. The following character will, however, be loaded into the input buffer. This avoids any data being lost due to the host not responding to the busy signal immediately (such as with a double-buffered UART in a PC).

5.6 Control Codes 9 character sets which may be selected for backwards compatibility. The default character set is the 8 bit IBM 224-character set. Previous versions of the A160B family have been supplied programmed with 7 bit character sets, UK, French, German, “Scandinavian”, Danish/Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese and Spanish character variations (often to special order).
