out
This pulse indicates data are received and the
printer is ready to accept next data.
Pulse width is approx. 12
KS.
11
BUSY
29
out
HIGH indicates printer can not accept next data.
12
PE

out
HIGH indicates paper-out. This signal is effective
only when
ERROR
signal is
“LOW”.

Always
“HIGH” output. (Pulled up to
+5V
through
3.3 K ohms register.)
14
AUTOFEED-XT
—
In
If the signal is “LOW” when the printer is initialized,
a line feed is automatically performed by input of
“CR” code. (Auto LF)
