Interface Specifications
Printing enabled/disabled signals and control conditions
The table below shows the relationship between printing being
enabled or disabled, and the on-line/off-line condition, the printer
select signal (SLCT IN), and the receipt of data on/off control
character, DC1/DC3.

Serial interface
The LQ built-in serial interface is an RS-232C asynchronous
interface with the following characteristics:
Data format
1 start bit
Data word length: 8 bits
Odd, even or no parity
1 stop bit
Signal level
Mark (1) - 3V to - 27V
Space (0) + 3V to + 27V
Band rate
300, 1200, 4800, 9600 BPS
