IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface
(Bidirectional parallel interface: in accordance with the IEEE 1284 nibble/byte modes)
Copyright © 1994 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc.
Compatibility mode
(Data transmission from host to printer: Centronics compatible)
Switching between on-line and off-line
The printer is not equipped with any on-line/off-line switch. The printer goes off-line under any
of the following conditions:
❏ When the power is turned on or until the printer becomes ready for data transmission after it
is initialized by the reset signal (ninit) from the interface.
❏ During the self-test.
❏ While the cover is open.
❏ While paper is fed using the paper feed button.
❏ When the printer stops printing due to a paper-end (in cases when an empty paper supply is
detected by either the paper roll end detector or the paper roll near-end detector with a
printing halt due to paper shortage enabled by ESC c 4).
❏ During macro executing standby status.
❏ When an error has occured.
Data transmission: 8-bit parallel
Synchronization: Externally supplied nStrobe signals
Handshaking: nAck and Busy signals
Signal levels: TTL compatible
Connector: ADS-B36BLFDR176 (Honda Tsushin Kogyo Co., Ltd) or equivalent
(IEEE 1284 Type B)
