l DATA : This is an 8-bit parallel signal (Positive logic)
l STB
: This is a strobe signal to read in 8-bit data (Negative logic)
l RESET
: This signal resets the entire printer (Negative logic) 1 ms or more
(2) Output signals from the printer
l ACK
: This is an 8-bit data request signal. Pulse signal output at the end of
the BUSY signal (Negative logic)
l BUSY : This signal indicates the BUSY state of the printer. Enter new data when it is
at LOW. (Positive logic)
l FAULT : This signal is set to low when the printer has an alarm.
When this is done, all control circuits in the printer stop. (Negative logic)
l PE

(Positive logic)
l Drawer switch output : This signal is set to HIGH when the switch is opened, and to LOW when shorted.
