Interface Connector Pin Assignments

IEEE 1284 interface connector pin assignments and functions

NOTES:

❏

Overscored signal names are LOW active signals.

❏

If a host does not provide for the signal lines listed above, two-way communication fails.

❏

For interfacing, signal lines must use twisted pair cables with the return sides connected to signal ground level.

❏

Interfacing conditions must all be based on the TTL level to meet the characteristics described below. In

addition, both the rise and fall time of each signal must be 0.5 ms or less.

❏

Data transmission must not ignore the ACK or BUSY signal. An attempt to transmit data with either the ACK or

BUSY signal ignored can cause lost data. (Data transmissions to the printer must be made after verifying the ACK

signal or while the BUSY signal is at a LOW level.)

❏

Interface cables should be as short in length as possible.
