Pin assignments The following table lists the signals and input/output status of the pin assignments used for parallel communication. 1 All-RETs are connected to GND. 2 These signals are valid only in Epson LQ printer control mode. 3 The level is raised to +5.0V at 5.6k. Each signal is defined as follows: STROBE When the printer receives the STROBE[...]

DATA These signals are the 8 bits of parallel data sent from the computer. A high level indicates a logical 1; a low level indicates a logical 0. The printer reads the DATA lines when it receives a STROBE pulse. ACKNLG The ACKNLG pulse tells the computer that the printer has read the data from the previous STROBE pulse. An ACKNLG pulse is also gene[...]

Timing Chart AUTO FEED XT When this signal is low, the printer automatically feeds the paper one line when it receives a carriage return (CR) control code. This signal is valid only in Epson LQ mode. INIT INIT from the system resets the printer to it initial power-on state. The BUSY line goes high, and any received data is printed. When INIT goes l[...]
