Notes:
1) When storing the printer, make sure the printheads are in the home (capped)
position. If necessary switch power on, wait for the printheads to move to the
home position, and then switch power off.
2) Before transporting the printer, remove the ink cartridges and turn the ink
valves screws to the closed position. Also make sure the printheads are in the
home, capped, position. After transporting the printer, install new ink
cartridges.
3) If the temperature drops below -15°C (5°F), the ink in the cartridges and
printheads freezes. The ink thaws completely after three hours at 25°C (77°F).

When the -INIT signal is low, or during hardware initialization
During a printer error
When the parallel interface is not selected

The DATA0 through DATA7 signals represent
data bits 0 to7, respectively. Each signal is at
high level when data is logical 1 and low level
when data is logical 0.
This signal is a negative pulse indicating that
the printer can again accept data.

This occurs when the printer is receiving data
or when the printer is in an error state.
HIGH means no paper is loaded.
Always HIGH when the printer is on.

1.2.6 Preventing Data Transfer Time-Outs
Generally, hosts abandon data transfer to peripherals when a peripheral is in
the busy state for dozens of seconds continuously. To prevent hosts from
entering this kind of time-out period, the printer slows down the data
reception rate to about one byte per second when there is less than 4kb of
free space in the printer buffer. Data reception comes to a complete stop if the
free space is less than 32 bytes, but returns to one byte per second when free
space reaches 1KB or more.
