Data Polarity; Busy On Strobe - Printronix P5000 Series User Manual

Data Bit 8
•
Enable. Allows access to the extended ASCII character set.
•
Disable. The printer interprets bit 8 of each incoming data
character as a zero, regardless of its actual setting.
PI Ignored
The PI (Paper Instruction) signal is used to control vertical paper
motion.
•
Enable. Ignores the PI signal and treats the data as characters
or control codes.
•
Disable. Causes the printer to interpret the eight data lines as
VFU commands when the PI signal is true.

Data Polarity

The Data Polarity parameter must be set to match the data polarity
of your host computer.
•
Standard. Does not expect the host computer to invert the
data.
•
Inverted. Expects the data received on the data lines from the
host computer to be inverted. Ones become zeros, and vice
versa.
Resp. Polarity
The Resp. Polarity parameter must be set to match the response
polarity of your host computer.
•
Standard. Does not invert the response signal.
•
Inverted. Inverts the response signal sent to the host
computer.

Busy On Strobe
