Parallel Interface

Parallel Protocol

The 7193 uses a standard PC-compatible parallel interface. The following
illustration shows the timing diagram for the interface protocol.

1. ACK/ will not go high until STROBE/ goes high.

2. When the printer is not ready to receive more data, ACK/ will be sent, but

BUSY will remain high.

3. When the power is turned on or the printer is reset, an ACK/ will be sent

during initialization.

4. Typical time from STROBE/ to ACK/ is approximately 44 µ seconds.
