information between CPU and peripherals. Default serve as input,
using /DOE bit of register offset x1Ah to set the direction.
BUSY
I/PU
108
Busy : This is a status input from the printer, high indicating that the
printer is not ready to receive new data.
/ACK
I/PU
107
Acknowledge : A low active input from the printer indicating that it
has received the data and is ready to accept new data.
PE
I/PU
106
Paper Empty : A status input from the printer, high indicating that the
printer is out of paper.
SLCT
I/PU
103
Slect: This high active input from the printer indicating that it has
power on.
/ERR
I/PU
113
Error : A low active input from the printer indicating that there is an
error condition at the printer.
/SLCTIN

111
Init: This signal is used to initiate the printer when low.
/ATFD

Auto Feed :This output goes low to cause the printer to automatically
feed one line after each line is printed.
/STRB
O
109
Strobe : A low active pulse on this output is used to strobe the print
data into the printer.

Description
Read register offset 17h bit 6 value reflects this input value.
When MII port is selected. Read register offset 17h bit 5 value reflects
this input value.
When SPP port is selected. The pin is defined as PE.
When MII port is selected. Read register offset 17h bit 4 value reflects
this input value.
When SPP port is selected. The pin is defined as SLCT.
Default “1”. The pin reflects write register offset 17h bit 0 inverted
value.
