10

ACKNLG

out

The Parallel488 pulses this line low for
>5 µs after it has accepted a character
from the parallel device.

11

BUSY

out

The Parallel488 sets this line low when
it can accept another parallel character. If the
buffer is full, this line is set high until
the buffer again has space.

12

PE

out

Out of Paper signal. Not used. Always low.

13

SLCT

out

Printer Select signal. Not used. Always high.

14

/AUTO

FEED

in

When this line is low and the present
parallel character is a carriage-return,
the Parallel488 will add a linefeed
character to the IEEE data stream.

16

Logic

GND

Signal return.

19

-30

Logic

GND

Signal return.

31

/INIT

in

When a low pulse is received (>50 µs),
the buffer is cleared, Interface Clear (IFC) is
asserted for 100 µs, and the Listener
Address Group is sent on the IEEE bus.

32

/ERROR

out

Off-Line signal. Not used. Always high.

33

Logic

GND

Signal return.

36

/SLCT
