The control board is made up of the microprocessors, peripheral circuits, drive circuits, sensorsand inte...
Page 16 - Initialization
2 – 7 2.1.3 Initialization This printer is initialized when the power is turned on or when the I-PRIME-N signal is inputfrom the host side via the parallel interface. For the initialize operation, the RST-N signal is first output from the reset circuit to reset theMPUs and LSIs. When resetting ends,...
Page 17 - Parallel Interface Control
2 – 8 2.1.4 Parallel Interface Control The parallel data input from the host to the interfaced LSI is latched to its internal register atthe falling edge of the STROBE-N signal. At the same time, the LSI sets the BUSY signal to the high level to inform the host that thedata is being processed, and o...
