A LOW logic level on the Logic H signal is as follows:
2.0 V or less when the printer is powered off.
3.0 V or more when the printer is powered on.
The receiver provides an impedance equivalent to 7.5 K ohms to ground.
The BUSY signal is set HIGH before setting either /ERROR LOW or PE HIGH and held HIGH until all
these signals return to an inactive state. The BUSY signal is HIGH in the following cases:


During data entry.


When the input data buffer is full.


While /INIT signal is at low level or during hardware initialization.


During a printer error condition (See /ERROR signal).


During test printing.


When the printer is in default setting mode.


When the parallel interface is not selected.
The /ERROR signal is LOW when one of the following errors has occurred:


Printer hardware error (fatal error)


Paper-out error


Paper-jam error


Ink-out error
The PE signal is high level during paper-out error.
