A-32 Parallel Interface
Pins and signals (continued)
Signal Pin Return Pin Signal Direction Description
15 NC Not used.
16 GND Logic ground level.
17 CHASSIS
GND
Printer’s chassis ground, which is isolated
from the logic ground.
18 NC Not used.
19–30 GND Twisted-pair return signal ground level.
31 16
INIT
IN When this level becomes LOW, the printer
controller is reset to its power-up state and
the print buffer is cleared. This level is
normally HIGH; its pulse width must be
more than 50 microseconds at the receiving
terminal.
32
ERROR
OUT This level becomes LOW when the printer
is:
1) In paper out state.
2) In error state.
33 GND Same as for Pins 19-30.
34 NC Not used.
35 OUT
Pulled up to 5V through 3.3 k resistance.
36
SLCT IN
or
NC
IN
or
The DC1/DC3 code is valid only when this
SLCT IN signal is HIGH. (Internal fixing
can be carried out with the jumper switch.
The level of this signal is factory-set to
LOW.) Some printers do not use this
function. For specific information, see the
user’s guide of each printer.
Note:
The values may vary from printer to printer. See the user’s guide of your printer.
The column heading “Direction” refers to the direction of signal flow as viewed from
the printer.
“Return” denotes the twisted-pair return, to be connected at signal ground level. For the
interface wiring, be sure to use a twisted-pair cable for each signal and to complete the
connection on the return side. To prevent noise, these cables should be shielded and
connected to either the chassis of the host computer or the printer (but not at both
ends).
All interface conditions are based on TTL level. Both the rise and the fall times of each
signal must be less then 0.2 microseconds.
Data tranfer must be carried out by observing the ACKNLG or BUSY signal. (Data
transfer to this printer can be carried out only after receipt of the ACKNLG signal or
when the level of the BUSY signal is LOW.)
