I/O* Description
1 Host Clk 19 I Host clock signal.
2 - 9 DATA 0 - 7 20 - 27 I
DATA 0-7 signals represent data bits 0 - 7,
respectively. Each signal is at a HIGH level when data
is logical 1 and LOW level when data is logical 0.
These signals are used to transfer the 1284
extensibility request values to the printer.
10 Ptr Clk 28 O Printer clock signal.

36 1284-Active 30 I 1284 active signal.
18 Logic-H — O
A HIGH signal indicates that all other signals sourced
by the peripheral are in valid status.
35 +5V — O
Pulled up to +5 V via 3.3K Ω resistor.
17 Chassis GND — — Chassis GND.
16, 33,

GND — — Signal GND.
15, 34 NC — — Not connected.
* : The I/O column indicates the direction of the signal as viewed from the printer.
