Notes:
1. Left-aligned signal names are in compati mode and right-aligned ones are in nibble mode.
2. The direction (input and output) refers to the printer.
3. Return line: Twisted-pair return line connected to the signal ground level

Reserved (*1)
This signal goes low under the following printer
conditions:
(1) Offline
(2) Paper out
(3) Cover open
(4) Other printer error
Reverse data transfer phase:
This signal is set low when the printer is ready to
send data to the host. During the data transfer, it is
used as data bit 0 (LSB), then data bit 4.
Reverse idle phase:
This signal is used to indicate that data is available.
