Basic specification
External signal interface is designed to connect the printer to external peripheral devices.
External signal interface works only in pulse input mode (print by external signal input). Error signal
is output in any mode if an error occurs in the printer.
External signal setting is set in the [Interface] > [External I/O] of the printer.
