and fall of each signal must be less than 0.2 microseconds.

l

The column heading ‘Direction” refers to the direction of
signal flow as viewed from the printer.

“Return” denotes the twisted-pair return, to be connected at

signal ground level. For the interface wiring, be sure to use a
twisted-pair cable for each signal and to complete the
connection on the return side. These cables should be shielded
and connected to the chassis of the host computer and the
printer.
