TYP : 500 ms MIN (On supplying power) 6.5 Data receiving control When BUSY signal is "LOW", data from the host can be received. When it being "HIGH", data can not be received. 6.6 Buffering 4 K bytes input buffer is incorporated. Due to this large buffer, host side is released immediately.
7 Serial Interface 7.
7.2 Explanation of Input / Output signals 7.2.1 Input / Output signals (1) RD Serial receiving data signal. On occurrence of framing error, overrun error, or parity error, the data is printed as "?". (2) DTR When this signal is READY, write data or a command. When they are written in BUSY, overrun error is occurred and data is ignored. Even during printing, data can be loaded in the input buffer. Further, BUSY can take place on supply of power, during test printing, during on-line, or on resetting.
7.3 Date configuration 1 Start bit 2 Data bit (+ parity bit) 3 Stop bit ( 1 or more ) (1) (2) (3) Start Bit In 1/2 bit from the mark-to-space starting edge, state is read once again. When "space" state is confirmed, it is recognized as the start bit. If it is "mark" state, it is not taken as the start bit. Without taking it as an error, detection of a start bit is carried out once again. Data Bit + Parity Bit Data bit and parity bit are sampled at 1/2 start bit for time length equal to 1 bit.
7.5 Data receiving control When DTR/DSR control having been selected, with BUSY signal at "LOW", data from the host side are received. With the signal at "HIGH", they can not be received. When DTR/DSR control not having been selected, after X-ON transmission, data is received from the host side. No transmission of data can take place after X-OFF is transmitted. 7.6 Buffering Data transfer to the input buffer include DTR signals and TD signals as the control signals concerned. (1) DTR signals (See 7.2. (2).
