Note) * : 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 shall provide an impedance equivalent to 7.5 K ohm top ground.
‰Adaptable connector
The BUSY signal is set high before setting either /ERROR low or PE high and held high until all these
signals return to the inactive state.
The BUSY signal is at high level in the following cases:
„During data entry (see Figure 0-8. Data Transmission Timing below.)
„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 at low level 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.
