  • Page 96: Scsi Interface Circuit (Up-D2600S Only)

    4-1-2. SCSI Interface Circuit (UP-D2600S only) IC209 is a SCSI protocol controller IC. Phase change for communication and data sending and receiving are performed by setting from system controller IC204. It complied on SCSI-2. The input data from the host personal computer via CN205 or CN206 is input to IC209 directly. If the printer is selected as a target from the initiater, that is, host personal computer during selection phase period, IC209 activates an interrupt signal at pin 7 to inform the system controller IC204 of the request command.
