Specification for I/O Signals
This section describes the I/O signal specifications.
1
The sink current is limited by the current limiting resistance (R = 1 kΩ).
2
Do not use this as a drive for a high-current load such as a coil.
3
This depends on the pull-up resistance (Rpu = 10k ohm) of the printer and the input resistance of the external
device.

CAUTION
Regardless of whether an external device is connected or the connected external device is
turned on or off, when the printer is turned on, the power supply voltage and signal are output
from the I/O power supply pin and output signal pin of the external I/O connector. Connect an
external device under this assumption.
