: 8 bit parallel method(DATA 0 – DATA 7)
: /ACK, BUSY, /STB, /ERROR, PE, SLECT
: 8 bit parallel signal(positive logic)
: Signal to read 8 bit data(negative logic)
: Signal to feed paper to print mechanism(negative logic)
: Enquiry signal for 8 bit data. It's also pulse signal which is output after
BUSY signals (negative logic)
: Indicate BUSY status of the printer. Inputs new data at LOW status
(positive logic)
: This signal becomes LOW when a printer is in the alarm status.
In the LOW status, all control circuits in the printer stops (negative logic)
: Outputs when roll paper becomes empty (positive logic)
: Signal to indicate on-line status (positive logic)
