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. (3) TD

When, while in data reception, the rest of input buffer on the printer side goes less than 128 bytes , DC3 (13H) data reception impossible signals are output. When the rest of input buffer goes more than 256 bytes, DC1 (11H) data reception possible signals are output to the host. When DTR/DSR control having been selected in status information transmission, it is first confirmed that DSR is "space" and data is sent. When DTR/DSR control has not been selected, DSR is ignored and data is transmitted. (4) FG

Case GND (5) GND

Common GND on the circuit.

7.3 Date configuration

1 Start bit 2 Data bit (+ parity bit) 3 Stop bit ( 1 or more )

(1) 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.

(2) Data Bit + Parity Bit

Data bit and parity bit are sampled at 1/2 start bit for time length equal to 1 bit. The state thus sampled is taken as the data for the bit concerned. Bits are named as

Bit 0, Bit 1, ..... parity bit counted from the one close to the start bit.

(3) Stop Bit

The stop bit is a mark level of 1 bit or more. With "space" having been detected on detection of a stop bit, framing error takes place.

7.4 Error detection

Parity, framing, and overrun are detected. On detection of any error, the data are stored in the buffer as "?". (1) Framing Error

With "space" state having been detected on detection of a stop bit, error takes place. The data are stored in the buffer as "?". (2) Parity Error

With an error having been detected under specifying parity check, the data is stored in the buffer as "?". (3) Overrun Error

On detection of an overrun error, the data are stored in the buffer as "?".

CITIZEN 30

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
