8.1 Remote I/O Signal Descriptions (EPSON RC+)

You may use either Standard I/O or Expansion I/O for remote control. To use all
signals, you will need to add Expansion I/O.
NOTE
When an error occurs, you must execute a Reset to clear the error condition before any
more remote input commands can be executed. Therefore, it is recommended that the
remote equipment uses the Error output and Reset input to monitor and clear error
conditions.
