Parallel port status signals when an error occurs

Under the specifications for this bi-directional parallel interface, the parallel
port status signals when an error occurs are, as shown below, partially
processed differently than with compatible mode used up till now. When
both are on in the setting menu, even if a printer error has occurred, the
BUSY signal line is not active (“H”).

Compatible timing specification

[When power is on] (Time it goes off-line)

Note: Busy rises when *Strobe signal starts, and data is latched with *Strobe

signal starts.
