4. Data transfer must be carried out by observing the ACKNLG or BUSY signal. (Data transfer to this printer can be carried out only after receipt of the ACKNLG signal or when the level of the BUSY signal is LOW.) 5. Under normal conditions, printer cable pins 11, 12, and 32 are activated when the paper-out condition is detected. The ESCape"8" code disables pins 11 and 32, but not pin 12. Those computers that monitor pin 12 halt printing when the paper is out, making ESCape"8" ineffective. Data Transfer Sequence Interface timing Figure K-1 shows the timing for the parallel interface.

activated when the paper-out condition is detected. The
ESCape”8” code disables pins

Those
