  • Page 19: Interfaces

    This appendix provides technical information for the parallel and serial interfaces The parallel interface of this printer fully supports the Centronics protocol plus the specific features requested by the EPSON and IBM printer connection in monodirectional mode and the Compatibility and Nibbles modes in bidirectional mode, plus the negotiation phases and the device identifier (as IEEE P1284).
  • Page 20: Operating Phases

    PRINTER Negative pulsed signal indicating that the printer has received data and is ready to accept the next set of data. Also sent when the printer is switched from off-line to on-line and at the end of the initialization time. The BUSY line is always active.
  • Page 21 Active low level signal. Indicates, that the printer is initializing. The BUSY signal is forced high. When low, this signal indicates that the printer is off-line, there is an off-line request from the operator panel, or the printer is in an error state .
  • Page 22 The pins 19 to 30 of the printer are connected to the pins 18 to 25 of the parallel port of the host. The pins 31, 32 and 36 of the printer are connected respectively to the pins 16, 15 and 17 of the parallel port of the host.
  • Page 23: Interface Timing

    Mode Centronics: Centronics mode ACK-WHILE-BUSY as BUSY-ACK relationship. This printer provides the RS-232/C serial interfaces. The interface mode is selected via EDS menu. • Transmission Type Data is sent and received in start/stop (asynchronous) transmission. • Character Format Each character is transmitted in the following format:...
  • Page 24: Serial Interface Signals

    The parity bit, when present, follows the data bits. The start bit is a logical "0" and the stop bit is a logical "1". The start and stop bits are used as character framing bits. • Printer Connector Male DB9 .
  • Page 25: Network Interface

    Cable connector: 8pin, RJ45 The following table lists the network interface signals used:...
