8-10 Interfaces The parallel interface consists of an 8-bit parallel data bus with the following characteristics: • Uses 17 of the 36 positions on the printer connector, as follows: - The host system controls 12 lines, which it uses to send data and commands to the printer. - The printer controls five lines. The printer uses two lines to notify the computer when data is transferred successfully and three lines to report printer status. • Controls synchronization with an externally supplied STROBE* pulse. • Controls data flow control with BUSY and ACKNLG* signals. Does not carry out data transfer by ignoring the BUSY or ACKNLG* signal. (The system can carry out data transfer to the printer only when the level of the BUSY signal is low and after confirming the ACKNLG* signal is high.) • Uses standard transistor-transistor logic (TTL) levels for all interface control signals and input data. Interface conditions are based on TTL levels. All printer outputs are totem-pole TTL devices. All printer input/output (I/O) are devices with an internal pull-up resistor to 5 V. Rise and fall times of each signal must be less than 1,500 nanoseconds (ns) without slope reversal. Note: For best results, use the Lexmark 1.83 m (6 ft) parallel cable, part number 11K4078.
