Stop BIT (1 ~ 2 BIT) (1) START BIT At 1 / 2 BIT after (a), signal level is checked out, (b). When signal level is MARK, continuous search for START BIT is made for the next bit. (2) DATA BIT + PARITY BIT DATA BIT and PARITY BIT are checked out every 1 / 2 BIT from the half point of START BIT, (b). Signal level of these points (MARK = 1, SPACE = 0) are read as input DATA.
iDP-562 User’s Manual 5.6.2. Detection System for Error The printer detects PARITY and FRAMING ERROR. ALARM (ALM) LAMP informs the user error occurrence. When any error is detected, the printer deletes the wrong DATA and waits for new DATA, ALM LAMP can be put out by depressing SEL switch. Framing Error Framing error occurs when SPACE signal is checked out at STOP BIT. ALM LAMP informs the user this error and the wrong data is neglected by the printer.
iDP-562 User’s Manual (2) Input Control for Double Buffer Double buffer transfer is made as follows. 1. The computer transfers 1st and 2nd BYTE of DATA after checking READY condition. 2. The printer continues BUSY condition for receiving 2nd BYTE of DATA. 3. The computer transfers 3rd BYTE of DATA after checking READY condition. The printer expects Double Buffer transfer at the first stage. Therefore, after completion of 1st BYTE of DATA reception, the printer waits for 2nd BYTE of DATA.
