10.3 Input and Output Signals

10.3.1 Input and Output Signals

(1) RXD

This is a serial received data signal. When a framing error, overrun error, or parity error occurs, that data is printed as "?".

(2) DTR

When this signal is Ready, write the data or a command. If written at the time of Busy, an overrun error results, ignoring the previous data. The data can be written in the input buffer even during printing. Busy is also issued at the tim eof power-on, test print, on-line, and reset.

(3) TXD

XON (11H) or XOFF (13H) is sent at XON/XOFF control. XON (11H) is sent every 3 seconds in the Star mode.

iDP3550/3551 User’s Manual

When a command is received, that requests the printer state and printer status, 1-byte corresponding data is output.

(4) DSR

When this signal is a space, the data is sent from the printer side. Note that if this signal is a mark when a request to send command is executed, the printer will wait until the signal becomes a space.

(5) FAULT

CBM mode

Whenthis signal is Space,a mechanical error has occurred.

Star mode

Whenthis signal is Mark,a mechanical error has occurred.

(6) RESET

A signal to reset the entire printer. (Active Low)

(1) Start Bit (2) Data Bit (+ Parity Bit) (3) StopBit (1 or More)

(1) Start bit

After a lapse of 1/2 bit from a mark-to-space fall edge, the state is read again, and if it is a space, it is recognized as the start bit. If it is a mark, it is assumed neither the start bit nor an error, and it is attemptedto detect the start bit again.

(2) Data bit + parity bit

The data bit and parity bit are sampled for 1 bit worth of time from the 1/2 start bit. The then state is assumed the data for the corresponding bit. A sequence of the bits are named Bit 0, Bit 1, ..., parity bit, starting fromthe one closest to the start bit.

(3) Stop bit

The stop bit is a mark level of 1 bit or more. If a space is detected in detecting the stop bit, a framingerror results.

10.3.3 Error Detection

A parity error, framing error, and overrun error are detected. When an error is detected, that data is stored in the buffer as "?".

(1) Framing error

This error results when a space is detected in detecting the stop bit. That data is stored in the buffer as "?".

(2) Parity error

If a parity check has been specified and an error is detected at the time of parity check, that data is stored in the buffer as "?".

(3) Overrunerror
