STROBE pulse to read data. Pulse width
must be more than 0.5 microseconds at
the receiving terminal.
These signals represent Information of the
1st to 8th bits of parallel data respectively.
Each signal is at HIGH level when data is
logical 1 and LOW when it
is logical 0.
About an 11-microsecond pulse.
LOW indicates that data has been
received and that the printer is ready to
accept more data.
