Compatible mode
The
parallel interface for the compatible mode transfers data in S-bit units. Data is
___-
transferred with the STROBE, BUSY, and ACKNLG handshake signals.
When the printer receives the data (Data 1-8) and STROBE signal from the host
computer and the STROBE signal is low, the printer controller (which controls the
parallel interface) outputs the BUSY signal and latches the data. After the BUSY
signal is output, the printer controller sends the latched data from the DRAM bus to
the receive buffer in the DRAM. After the data is completely written into the receive
buffer in the
DRAM,
the printer controller outputs the ACKNLG signal and sets the
BUSY signal to “Low.” Then it watts for the next data input from the host computer.
