5.20 IEEE 1284 INTERFACE (CONT’D)
Pin Assignment
With Centronics standards, each signal pin placement is as follows:
However, the IEEE 1284-B type connector is compliant when connecting the IEEE1284
standard.

1
HOST CLK
Input
A low active pulse is necessary in synchronized
signals for scanning Data 1 to Data 8.
2 to 9
DATA 1 to DATA 8
Input
When entering 8 bit parallel Data, Data 1 is the LSB
(least significant bit) and Data 8 is the MSB (most
significant bit)
10
PERIPH CLK
Output
This is the LOW active pulse signal that indicates the
completion of received data scanning.
11
PERIPH ACK
Output
HIGH active signal which indicates that the printer
cannot receive data.
12
nACK REVERSE
Output
HIGH active signal which indicates that the media has
run out.
13
XFLAG
Output
HIGH active signal which indicates that data can be
received.
14
HOST ACK
Input
Signal for when using the IEEE1284 standard.
