Normally it is HIGH, and data is latched at the trailing edge of
this signal.
DATA 1 to 8 are
pa~llel data bits. When the signal is HIGH,
the data bit is 1, and when it is LOW, the data bit is O.

ACKNLG
is an acknowledge pulse with an approximate width
of 1 or 10 wee. This signal goes LOW when the data
reception
is
completed, which indicates that the printer can
accept new data. Timing with the BUSY signal is specified
through
SelecType.
The BUSY signal informs the host computer of the printer
state. When the signal is HIGH, the printer cannot accept
data.
The PE signal indicates paper empty for the standard tray
